000t?G 88. lt emerges from Article 2 of the Charter that: "Every individual shall be entitled to the enjoyment of the rights and freedoms recognised and guaranteed in the present charter without distinction of any kind such as race, ethnic group, colour, sex, language, religion, political or any other opinion, national and social origin, fortune, birth or any status." 89. The principle of non-discrimination strictly forbids any differential treatment among persons existing in similar contexts on the basis of one or more of the prohibited grounds listed under Article 2 above. 90. 20 ln the instant case, the Applicant simply asserts that the court of Appeal violated his right to freedom from discrimination. The Applicant does not indicate the kind of discriminatory treatment that he was subjected to in comparison to persons who were in the same situation as he was, nor does he specify the ground(s) prohibited under Article 2 of the Charter on which basis he was discriminated. The mere allegation that the Court of Appeal did not properly examine the evidence supporting his conviction is not sufficient to find a violation of his right not to be discriminated. The Applicant should have furnished evidence substantiating his contention. 91. ln view of the foregoing, the Court finds that the Applicant is not a victim of any discriminatory practice that contravenes the right to freedom from discrimination guaranteed under Article 2 of the Charter. VIII. 92. REMEDIES SOUGHT ln his Application, the Applicant prayed the court to, among other things, quash his conviction and set him free, grant other reparations and order such other measures or remedies as it may deem fit. 20 See African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights v.
