ii. Moral prejudice suffered by the Applicant 159. The Applicant avers that he suffered severe hardships as a result of the violation of his rights under the Charter in the course of his arrest and conviction and 16 years of imprisonment, including 9 years on death row. He further argues that the years of incarceration caused him severe distress and anguish, and significantly affected his physical and mental wellbeing. He submits that while in prison, he has been treated for a number of conditions associated with the trauma and distress owing to the violation of his basic human rights. He prays the Court to order reparations be paid to him in such amount as the Court deems fit. 160. The Applicant submits that in the Konate case, the Court awarded USD 20,000 as compensation for moral damages to Konate who spent time in prison for 12 years. He therefore submits that having spent over 17 years in prison, he should be granted seventeen times more the amount awarded the Konate. He therefore, prays the Court to grant him USD 340,000 equivalent to TZS 788, 610, 620. * 161. The Respondent State prays that the prayer for reparations be dismissed. *** 162. The Court recalls its jurisprudence in Armand Guehi v. United Republic of Tanzania, where, due to a delay in the commencement of the Applicant’s trial, it held that “in the circumstances of this case where the Applicant was accused of murder and faced the death sentence, such delay is also likely to have caused anguish. The prejudice that ensued warrants compensation, which the Court has discretion to evaluate based on equity”.68 68 Guehi v. Tanzania, supra, § 181. 44
