the democratically elected government of the people, the system has subdued
itself to military rulers and not the rule of law.
9. In view of the foregoing, the Complainants allege that the crimes committed by
the Respondent State against the Victim and his family include the crime of
arbitrary executions, "discrimination and tribal segregation," "elimination of the
original peoples," and the crime of "violating human rights in the honest judicature."
10. The Complainants submit that the Complaint has been forwarded to the African
Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights in conformity with Article 56 of the
African Charter and has never been forwarded to any other international
institution.
11. The Complainants add that this Complaint has been filed within a reasonable time
in accordance with Article 56(6) of the Charter, as they had been awaiting the
outcome/judgements of the Egyptian courts on the issues placed before them so
they could know whether the courts could deliver qualitative judgements, which
they later realized was impossible.
12. Finally, the Complainants enjoin the African Commission to draw inspiration
from international law, especially those dealing with human and people rights as
stated in Articles 60 and 61 of the African Charter, and cites several international
treaties for this purpose.
Articles alleged to have been violated
13. The Complainants allege violations of Articles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 19, 6 and 61 of
the African Charter.
