Conflict Early Warning and Response System (CEWARS) in Ebonyi State

Conflict Early Warning and Response System (CEWARS) in Ebonyi State: Keeping with our peace building mission with a focused emphasis on Conflict Prevention in Ebonyi State rather than responses, and continuing our establishment of Conflict Early Warning and Response System in Ebonyi State, We brought together the trained Early Warning Signs reporters to meet and interface with the Government Stakeholders and Security Agencies and Civil Society responsible for Response. While we continue to play the role of the intermediary for analysis and connection, it is our hope that this system established in the three pilot LGs of Ikwo, Ishielu, and Ohaukwu will be upscaled to all the Local Governments, communities, and zones.

HRCRC Secures the Release of Over 25 inmates from Abakaliki Prisons

HRCRC Secures the Release of Over 25 inmates from Abakaliki Prisons: Over the past 4 years, HRCRC represented about 30 inmates who were incarcerated in the Abakaliki Correctional Center (prisons) along with over 140 others in connection to a communal conflict in Ebonyi State. These individuals were denied bail and due process in courts and were detained by the state awaiting trial for over 3 years.

After a successful Alternative Dispute Resolution of said conflict facilitated by the Ebonyi State Government, over 150 awaiting trial inmates were released from detention in an atmosphere that was both exciting and broody.

HRCRC continues to advocate against the illegal and many times unjustified detention of individuals in our already oversaturated Correctional Centers that breed Human Rights Abuses, poor inhumane living conditions and practices, and other criminal tendencies.

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.
