therefore looks to find out whether the human rights violation as observed constitutes the main subject matter of the application and whether the pleas-inlaw and evidence produced essentially go to establish such violation. The Plaintiff in this case premised their pleas in law on alleged violation of Articles 4,6 and 7 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights. Article 4 provides that “Human beings are inviolable. Every human being shall be entitled to respect for his life and the integrity of his person. No one may be arbitrarily deprived of this right” Article 6 provides, “every individual shall have the right to liberty and to the security of his person. No one may be deprived of his freedom except for reason and conditions previously laid down by law. In particular, no one may be arbitrarily arrested or detained”. Article 7 of the African Charter provides: 1. Every individual shall have the right to have his cause heard. This comprises: a. The right to an appeal to competent national organs against acts violating his fundamental rights as recognized and guaranteed by conventions, laws, regulations and customs in force. b. The rights to be presumed innocent until proved guilty by a competent Court or tribunal. 24
