23. The Applicant cites the Court’s jurisprudence8, that as long as the rights allegedly violated are protected by the Charter or any other human rights instrument ratified by the State concerned, the Court will have jurisdiction over the matter. He avers that the alleged violations are provided for under Articles 2, 3(1) and (2) and 7(1)(c) of the Charter as well as Article 107A (2)(b) of the Constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania. 24. The Applicant affirms that he has demonstrated the compelling circumstances that support his prayer for release and cites the Court’s jurisprudence,9 that an order for an Applicants release from prison can be made only under very specific and/or compelling circumstances. 25. The Applicant further submits that the Court can draw inspiration from the decision of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in the case of “Loayza Tamayo v. Peru, merits judgment of 17 August 1997, series C NO 33, Resolutory paragraph 5 and 84”. He submits that in this case, “the court ordered the Applicant’s release since not doing so would have resulted in double jeopardy which is prohibited by the American Convention on Human Rights”. *** 26. The Court recalls that under Article 3(1) of the Protocol, it has jurisdiction to examine any application submitted to it, provided that the rights of which a violation is alleged are protected by the Charter or any other human rights instrument ratified by the Respondent State.10 27.
