They submit that in April 2004, the victims approached the Immigration and Passports Department of the Ministry of Interior to list their three daughters on Ms Enayet’s passport. The Department agreed to add the daughters to their mother’s passport only if the applicants’ put a dash in front of “religion” on the passport application. This was complied with by the applicants and the passport was received. However, in May 2004, the Civil Status Intelligence Unit in Alexandria summoned Ms Enayet. She went with her husband and met with an officer who told them to change the religion entered on their IDs and on their daughters’ birth certificates. Their ID cards were confiscated during the meeting.

Case Head Notes
The request for Advisory opinion is submitted by the Socio Economic Rights and Accountability Project on the basis of clarifying whether the organization is recognized by the AU. SERAP argues it should be recognized by the African Union on the basis that is an African organization that is registered in Nigeria. SERAP also argues that due to its observer status with the African Commission it has the competence to request an opinion relating to any question within the scope of the ACFPR. But since SERAP doesn’t have a memorandum of understanding with the African union, it isn’t entitled to bring a request for advisory opinion before the court. The Court couldn’t give an opinion on the request due to not having personal jurisdiction.

The complainant, Apôtre Joseph Kiiwa Nsenga, lodged a communication against the Democratic Republic of the Congo alleging violations of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights. Before considering the merits, the African Commission examined whether the communication complied with the admissibility requirements under Article 56 of the African Charter. The Commission concluded that the communication failed to satisfy the requirements of Article 56(3) (compatibility with the Constitutive Act of the African Union and the African Charter) and Article 56(5) (exhaustion of local remedies). Consequently, it declared the communication inadmissible and did not proceed to examine the alleged violations on the merits.
