Case Headnotes: The Applicant moved to Tanzania on 1 May 2004 as a dependent of his wife, an Ivorian citizen, then working for the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (herein after referred to as "ICTR"). The Applicant was also undertaking an internship at the ICTR. On 6 October 2005, the Applicant was arrested by security officers of the ICTR in connection with his wife's disappearance. He was handed over to local police and detained. On 18 October 2005, he was charged with the murder of his wife before the High Court of Tanzania at Moshi. On 30 March 2010, he was found guilty, convicted and sentenced to death. He appealed to the Court of Appeal of Tanzania, which on 28 February 2014, dismissed the appeal.

On 6 January 2015, while the request for review awaited hearing in the Court of Appeal, the Applicant filed an Application before the African Court alleging that several of his rights were violated in the course of the domestic proceedings.
