Shalimar Abbiusi, a prominent spokesperson for the New Force Movement who was recently repatriated, has taken decisive legal action against the Republic of Ghana for what she alleges are serious infringements upon her fundamental human rights. Accompanied by a team of seasoned legal representatives led by Francis Xavier Sosu, Abbiusi formally lodged a lawsuit at the prestigious international ECOWAS Court on January 23, 2024.
Within the extensive legal documentation, Abbiusi outlines a series of compelling arguments, supported by meticulous legal analysis, to substantiate her claims of unjust treatment and rights violations by Ghanaian authorities. Among the exhaustive list of demands presented in the writ, the focal point remains a substantial compensation package totaling a staggering one million United States dollars. This financial restitution is sought as redress for the purported harms and damages inflicted upon Abbiusi as a result of what she perceives as egregious violations of her inherent rights.
The genesis of this legal saga can be traced back to events that transpired in December of the previous year when the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) apprehended Abbiusi and subsequently levied charges against her. The charges in question pertained to an alleged offense of procuring a student permit under false pretenses, a serious allegation that thrust Abbiusi into the heart of a legal maelstrom. However, following a sequence of events culminating in the withdrawal of the charges against her and her subsequent repatriation, Abbiusi's resolve to seek legal recourse against what she views as unjust treatment by Ghanaian authorities only intensified.
In light of the perceived injustices endured, Abbiusi's legal counsel, led by the indefatigable Francis-Xavier Sosu, spared no effort in meticulously outlining a comprehensive legal argument that meticulously examines the purported violations of her client's rights. The legal narrative advanced by Abbiusi's legal team underscores fundamental principles enshrined within international human rights law, drawing upon a rich tapestry of legal precedents and jurisprudence to buttress their case.
Central to Abbiusi's legal strategy is the assertion of her rights under various international human rights instruments, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights. Through an exhaustive enumeration of rights allegedly infringed upon, including but not limited to rights to liberty, fair hearing, equality before the law, freedom from discrimination, and freedom of movement, Abbiusi's legal team seeks to present a compelling case for the egregious violations perpetrated against their client.
In addition to the significant monetary compensation sought, Abbiusi's legal entreaty also includes a series of declaratory reliefs aimed at affirming and vindicating her inherent rights under international law. These declarations, if granted by the esteemed ECOWAS Court, would serve as a resounding affirmation of the sanctity and inviolability of fundamental human rights within the jurisdiction of the Republic of Ghana.
As this legal odyssey unfolds, all eyes remain fixed upon the hallowed halls of justice, where the fate of Shalimar Abbiusi's quest for justice hangs in the balance. In a nation where the protection and enforcement of human rights represent a cornerstone of democratic governance, the outcome of this landmark legal battle holds profound implications not only for Abbiusi herself but for the broader landscape of human rights protection within the Republic of Ghana.
