Senegalese
Human Rights League ( LSDH ) , Amnesty International / Senegal , ARTICLE 19 /
West Africa , the African Assembly for the Defense of Human Rights (RADDHO )
and the International Society for Human Rights / Senegal (ISHR / Senegal) are
concerned about the recurrence of administrative decisions banning
demonstrations of the opposition.
A
press statement issued today in Dakar by five rights group reads:”
The
exercise by citizens of one of the pillars of democracy, namely the right to
peaceful protest as a legitimate means to express themselves and to claim other
civil liberties guaranteed by the Constitution of Senegal and international
treaties and regional which Senegal is a party.
Our
organizations and would recall that the imperative incumbent on the
Administration to preserve public order and security must necessarily be
reconciled with the inalienable right of citizens and organized groups on the
exercise of fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution .
Our
organizations therefore require stopping unfounded bans and the immediate and
unconditional release of all persons arrested simply because of the exercise of
the freedoms enshrined and guaranteed by the Constitution and call the
Senegalese authorities to comply with their obligations promotion and
protection of civil liberties in Senegal.
