Case Head Notes
The Complainant alleges that on 16 December 1998, the Buhera Rural District Council at a Council meeting decided that Samuel T Muzerengwa’s village (hereinafter the “Wakarambwa Village”) was situated in the lands of another village called Nyararai Village headed by Mungofa Gotora. In its decision the Council resolved that the Wakarambwa’s village should immediately move out of the land it occupied. No alternative land was provided even though the decision to evict was reached in terms of the Rural District Act (29:13) which allows the District Councils of each district to allocate land to individuals who are resident or originate from that district, if there is an unoccupied land.

The communication concerns 11 soldiers of the Nigerian army: WO1 Samson Elo, WO2 Jomu James, Ex. WO2 David Umukoro, Sat. Gartue Ortoo, LCPI Pullen Blacky, Ex LCPI Lucky Iviero, PVT Fakolade Taiwo, PVT Adelabi Ojejide, PVT Chris Miebi, Ex PVT Otem Anang, and WO2 Austin Ogbeowe. They were arrested in April 1990 on suspicion of being part of a coup plot and were tried twice, once in 1990, and once in 1991. They were found innocent on both occasions but still have not been freed. On 31st October 1991, the then-Armed Forces Ruling Council granted them state pardon. However, they continue to be held at Kirikiri Prison under terrible conditions. The complaint argues that there are no further domestic remedies available, since the jurisdiction of the courts over the matter has now been ousted by military decree.

Case Head Notes
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.

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.

Case Head Notes
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 complainants allege that eleven (11) former Eritrean government officials, namely, Petros Solomon, Ogbe Abraha, Haile Woldetensae, Mahmud Ahmed Sheriffo, Berhane Ghebre Eghzabiher, Astier Feshation, Saleh Kekya, Hamid Himid, Estifanos Seyoum, Germano Nati and Beraki Ghebre Selassie were illegally arrested in Asmara, Eritrea on 18th and 19thSeptember 2001 in violation of Eritrean laws and the African Charter. They were part of a group of fifteen (15) senior officials of the ruling Peoples’ Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDJ) who had been openly critical of the Eritrean Government policies. In May 2001, they wrote an open letter to ruling party members criticising the government for acting in an ‘illegal and unconstitutional’ manner. Their letter also called upon “all PFDJ members and Eritrean people in general to express their opinion through legal and democratic means and to give their support to the goals and principles they consider just”. The government subsequently announced that the eleven individuals mentioned above, on whose behalf the present complaint is being filed, had been detained ‘because of crimes against the nation’s security and sovereignty'.
