The Complainant further submits that the full facts of the case, obtained following the Victim's release, reveal serious violations of additional human rights guaranteed in the African Charter, and hereby also allege violations of the right to freedom of movement and right to leave and return to a country including one's own (Article 12 (1) and 12 (2)), the right to health (Article 16) and, the right to legal protection of the rights guaranteed in the Africa Charter (Article 1). Alleged Violation of Article 4 of the African Charter 94. The Complainant submits that the Commission has held that it would be a narrow interpretation of the right to life to think it would only be violated when one is deprived of it. 71 The Complainant states that in that case, the Commission concurred with the Complainant that the series of arrests and detention suffered by the victim, and his subsequent going into hiding for fear of his life, violated Article 4 of the African Charter. 95. The Complainant argues that the Victim was detained and tortured by the NISS on two occasions, first from 1991 up to 2006 and again in 2011 . During the period of the Victim's detention in 2011 , he was systematically beaten, whipped and deprived of sleep, as well as being forced to stand in painful positions for hours at a time. According to the Complainant, the Victim was verbally insulted, repeatedly called a slave and a spy, and threatened with death. The Victim was also told that he would be killed if he told anyone about what had unfolded while in custody. After his release, the Complainant states that the Victim received threatening phone calls from individuals claiming to be NISS officials, who told him that the next time he was arrested, he would be killed. 96. The Complainant avers that after the Victim's release, he was closely followed by NISS officers when going about his daily activities, making him increasingly anxious for his safety, and that nine (9) days before his eventual arrest, he relocated from his own home. On another arrest in 2006, live ammunition was shot intensively and at close range by the arresting officers and while in detention, the NISS threatened to kill the Victim and on one occasion. When he was first detained, the head of the NISS ordered another officer to take him outside and "kill him in front of the office", but he luckily survived. The Complainant argues that for over two months, the Victim was subjected to severe mental and physical harm, and on his release, he fled the country, fearing for his life. 97. The Complainant submits that the constant fear for the safety of his life, on account of the death threats and treatment meted out by the NISS while the Victiutt{~S in '~, "Communication 205197, Kazeem Aminu v Nigeria, decided at the 27• ordinary session, May 20: o Report. r f,,;.
