113. It is against this finding that the Court will consider the Applicant’s prayer for reparations. A. Pecuniary reparations 114. The Applicant seeks pecuniary reparations for material prejudice due to loss of income and moral prejudice due to the violations established. i. Material prejudice 115. The Applicant avers that he was a businessman and provider for his parents and relatives but he lost his business as a result of his unlawful detention. He avers that the economic situation in the United Republic of Tanzania has since changed and as such, when he is released, he would have to learn how to survive in a world that is significantly different. 116. The Applicant avers that in calculating the amount of pecuniary and nonpecuniary damages, this Court should apply the principle of equity and take into account the severity of the violation, especially the impact it has had on his direct and indirect dependants, and the period for which he has been imprisoned. He prays the Court to make an order for reparation that would, at least, attempt to alleviate his suffering and that of his family. 117. The Applicant submits that in the Zongo case, this Court held that in the absence of documentary evidence supporting a financial monetary claim brought about as a direct violation of the Charter, then it would be appropriate to consider the matter in terms of equity by awarding the Applicant in pro rata amount of United States Dollar Three Hundred and Fifty-Five Thousand Four Hundred ($355,400). The Applicant further submits that this Court in the Zongo Case held that transport costs could be claimed under reparations. Finally, the Applicant prays this Court to grant printing and photocopying costs in the amount of United States Dollar Seven Hundred ($700) and trips to and from Butimba Prison to Rwanda amounting to United States Dollar Two Thousand ($2,000). 30
