HRCRC Celebrates 2024 World Human Rights Day

HRCRC Celebrates 2024 World Human Rights Day: On December 10, 2024, in collaboration with NHRC, Ebonyi State Office our branches/volunteers, stakeholders, CSOs, Friends, MDAs gathered at HRCRC office complex to mark the 2024 World Human Rights Day themed Our Rights, Our Future Right Now…

The highlight of the activity was the inauguration of 14 HRCRC Branches across different communities of Ebonyi State to deepen and strengthen our interventions in the grassroot. The symbolic planting of a tree in HRCRC to mark the celebration of 2024 World Human Rights Day was to also draw attention to deforestation and climate change.

We are most grateful to St. Patrick’s Missionary Society especially the West African Region, our Stakeholders and Partners, and our Branch Members/Volunteers for their support and efforts in strengthening the work that we do.

Justice, Human Rights and Prison Decongestion

Following our resolve to uphold Human Rights by Decongesting the Prisons of inmates who shouldn’t be incarcerated, HRCRC facilitated the release of 13 inmates – discharge of five (5) and bail of eight (8) from Abakaliki Correctional Centre between May and June, 2024. Remarkably, one of 5 who was discharged and acquitted had been in custody for over six years Awaiting Trial.
We continue to advocate for a better, more humane, efficient and credible Criminal Justice System in Nigeria.

STILL ON PRISON DECONGESTION…

A significant part of our work involves providing free legal services for the unjustly treated vulnerable population. Pictured here is Chinedu, along with HRCRC’s Barrs. Chioma and Esther; who has been incarcerated in prison since February 2022 and no information was filed against him. With the intervention of HRCRC Access to Justice Department, the defendant has been granted bail, released and reunited with his family.

Following our interventions, HRCRC is open for collaborations and partnerships from CSOs and BMOs interested in promoting justice and serving justice to the vulnerable population.
