@RedhacRedhac a été une force infatigable, mettant en lumière les violations des droits de l'homme au Cameroun - où le monde a fermé les yeux. Alors que le gouvernement suspend injustement ses activités, nous devons élever la voix encore plus fort. Il ne s'agit pas seulement du REDHAC, il s'agit de défendre l'espace des défenseurs des droits de l'homme partout dans le monde. Nous sommes solidaires du REDHAC et exigeons : 📢 La levée immédiate de cette suspension injuste. 📢 La protection de l'espace civique au Cameroun. 📢 La responsabilisation de ceux qui réduisent au silence les défenseurs de la justice. Le travail que fait le REDHAC est trop important pour être réduit au silence. Il est temps de nous unir, de montrer notre soutien et d'exiger la justice que les défenseurs des droits de l'homme du Cameroun méritent.

@RedhacRedhac has been a tireless force, spotlighting human rights abuses in Cameroon—where the world has turned a blind eye. As the government unjustly suspends their operations, we must raise our voices even louder. This is not just about REDHAC; it is about defending the space for human rights defenders everywhere. We stand in solidarity with REDHAC and demand: 📢 The immediate lifting of this unjust suspension. 📢 Protection for civic space in Cameroon. 📢 Accountability for those who silence defenders of justice. The work REDHAC does is too important to be silenced. It is time to stand together, show our support, and demand the justice that Cameroon’s human rights defenders deserve.

#ReleaseNamataiKwekweza #SafeguardingWHRDs

We are deeply disturbed by the arbitrary arrest and forced disappearance of Woman Human Rights Defender (#WHRD), Namatai Kwekweza @namataik_ who was forcibly removed from a plane by state security agents this afternoon. Namatai's dedication to #HumanRights and justice is commendable, and her abrupt detention raises serious concerns about the respect for fundamental freedoms in #Zimbabwe. We urgently call for her immediate release and a thorough investigation into her whereabouts, safety, and well-being. The protection of #WHRDs is essential for upholding democracy and human rights for all. #ReleaseNamatai #SafeguardingWHRDs @weleadteam @MaryLawlorhrds @Ginitastar @SADC_News @_AfricanUnion @amnesty @HRF @FordFoundation @KofiAnnanFdn @AfricaDefenders @africanngos @OsloFF @UN @JusticeDefend @vanyaradzayi @achpr_cadhp @TamukaKagoro77 @wlsazw @advocatemahere
