    Advocacy - Human Rights in the Comoros Islands

    Advocacy | August 2019


    Advocacy letter submitted to Mr. Glucksmann, Vice-Chairman of the Sub-Commission on Human Rights of the European Parliament. Following an exploratory mission conducted in the Comoros Islands in the course of Summer 2018, Planète Réfugiés-Droits de l'Homme has garnered first-hand information on the state of justice and prisons in the Comoros Islands. This information was instrumental in order to write an official letter addressed to the Vice-Chairman of the Human Rights Sub-Committee of the European Parliament, in order to shed light on the issue of justice and prisons in the country, requesting the European Commission to act by implementing concrete mitigation measures.

    he findings of this mission were mentioned in an article published in the daily Le Figaro in August 2019 ( http://www.lefigaro.fr/flash-actu/comores-situation-alarmante-de-l-etat-de-la-justice-et-des-prisons-20190813) and was the subject on an interview by Radio France Internationale on 19 August 2019 (please refer to page Médias).
