Mustafa v Republic of Malawi (Application No. 008/2023)

Mustafa v Republic of Malawi (Application No. 008/2023) [2024] AfCHPR 38 (18 March 2024)

The Court found that while the Applicant demonstrated urgency and extreme gravity due to her lack of control over the properties and reliance on them for daily needs, she failed to provide evidence of imminent sale or auction of the properties, such as a notice of sale or advertisement. Furthermore, the Applicant's argument that Ms. Emily Mustafa would be unable to compensate her was deemed immaterial, as any compensation would be the responsibility of the Respondent State. Therefore, the Applicant did not sufficiently prove that she would suffer irreparable harm if the Supreme Court of Appea…

Soglo v Republic of Benin (Application 011/2021)

Soglo v Republic of Benin (Application 011/2021) [2023] AfCHPR 36 (7 November 2023)

The court found that the applicant did not exhaust available local remedies with respect to both his removal from office and the criminal proceedings against him. The applicant failed to provide evidence of pursuing annulment before the Administrative Chamber of the Supreme Court and did not appeal the criminal conviction, despite the possibility of doing so through legal representation. The court held that the applicant's justification for not appealing due to exile was untenable, as Benin's law allows appeals to be filed by proxy and suspends execution of judgment during appeal. Given the c…

Hussein v United Republic of Tanzania (Application No. 001/2018)

Hussein v United Republic of Tanzania (Application No. 001/2018) [2023] AfCHPR 7 (11 February 2023)

The Court determined that it has prima facie jurisdiction to consider the application for provisional measures, as the alleged violations concern rights protected under the African Charter and the Protocol, to which the Respondent State is a party. Given the Applicant's sentence of death and the risk of irreparable harm to his rights under Articles 3(2) and 7(1)(c) of the Charter, the Court found that the circumstances warranted the issuance of provisional measures. The Court exercised its powers under Article 27(2) of the Protocol to order a stay of execution of the death sentence pending de…
