national laws, despite the known fact that the victims are from a minority tribe that is particularly vulnerable due to their underrepresentation in the law enforcement and the security sectors. 96. Lastly, they argue that this discriminatory treatment by the Respondent State has left them without any protection of their life and property and from being made homeless. They submit that these actions of the Respondent State constitute violations of Article 14 of the Constitution of South Sudan and violations of Article 2 & 3 (1) and (2) of the African Charter. Alleged violation of Article 4 of the African Charter - respect for life and integrity of the person 97. The Complainants submit that the sudden raid carried out in their house early in the morning with 14 heavily armed soldiers in a combat-like situation is a grave disrespect of human dignity. They add that their very yO~.l}gchildr~,~ from ages 2 to 8, a pregnant woman and an elderly woman diagnosed~fwith'''nype'rtens;i2n'were raided in an aggressive military style and forced out of their lawful ho:rrie~into the streets without any reason. Military . police strictly deal with the. army or other criminal situations that the police cannot maintain. They are traditicinally aggressive due to their nature of duty in handling uncontrollable or undisciplined soldiers. The military police unleashed similar tactics and behavior on the Complainants, who are civilians, in a similar way they handle uri~~ntrollable soldiers. . 98. The Complainants aver that such an extreme ill-treatment on civilians has the highest potential of causing sudden death to an)/~lderly woman with a preexisting medical condition, a woman in her late pregnancy or the children, due to the dangerous effect of the military raid. Similarly, the actions have a long-term distress and terrible impact in the life and development of the children and the other Complainants. . 99.

Artiqle 152, 'eto£ the Constitution states that the national armed forces shall not be used a~ :arl instrument of physical intimidation of the civilian populations. They aver that the actions of the military police were unlawful, extreme and h<:}dthe potential of causing death to the pregnant woman, the unborn child, the eldeHy woman with the hypertension and the young children and therefore constitute a violation of Article 4 of the Charter. Alleged violation of Article 5 - right to respect of the human dignity 101. 17
