THE African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights (AfCHPR) has initiated public hearings on three applications lodged before the court.
In the first application, a Ghanaian
Alfred Wayome is seeking redress from Ghana Government. He alleges to
have provided engineering financial services to the respondent state,
pursuant to an agreement for securing funds for the rehabilitation of
the Accra and Kumasi Sports Stadia for the Confederation of the African
Cup of Nations Tournament of 2008.
The Applicant alleges that, by not
respecting the terms of the agreement, the respondent state violated the
rights provided under the Charter. Mr Wayome alleges that the
government wants to take over his properties after he refused to return
some funds he was paid after he had won the tender.
In another matter, Mr Sebastian Ajavon
alleges that Benin has violated his rights by withdrawing his customs
license and disrupted his radio and television stations’ signals.
The applicant is also alleging that the
proceedings instituted against him by the Public Prosecutor and the
Benin Customs Services in the cocaine trafficking case was not fair. The
third application is between Mr Armand Guehi and the United Republic of
Tanzania.
Mr Guehi, an Ivorian national, who has
been convicted and sentenced to death for murdering his wife, is
challenging the conviction on the ground that it violated his right to a
fair trial.
