Human rights seminar begins in The Gambia

An eight-day seminar to restore respect for human rights in Sierra Leone started in Gambia on Wednesday, according to Interights, a human rights organisation. Organised by Alliances for Africa, Interights and the Institute for Human Rights and Development, the training session aims to enable Sierra Leonean civil society to use the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights to seek redress for human rights violations perpetrated during the recent conflict.
