In Commemoration of World Human Rights Day

In commemoration of World Human Rights Day 2025, the Human Rights & Conflict Resolution Centre Abakaliki (HRCRC), in partnership with the National Human Rights Commission (Abakaliki Office) and the Ebonyi State Civil Society Network, held a press conference to spotlight the pressing challenges facing Ebonyi residents — from HRCRC”s access road deplorable condition, EEDC exploitative practices, dangerous unreclaimed mining pits, and more – following this year’s theme – HUMAN RIGHTS-OUR EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS.
We call on the government to listen to the voices of the people and take urgent action. Ebonyi citizens deserve safety, dignity, and accountability.
A heartfelt appreciation to Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Ihwo, St Patrick’s Missionary Society, West Africa Regional Leader and Chairman of our Board for his physical presence and for his unwavering support.

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.

Continuation of Prison Decongestion

Continuation of Prison Decongestion: For about 4 years, HRCRC has been representing and trying to secure the release of 36 inmates incarcerated in the Abakaliki Correctional Custodial Center (Prisons) unjustly. These inmates had been discharged by four different courts on four different occasions in the course of our interventions but their detention continued.
Gleefully, 12 of these inmates were discharged again yesterday and were released from detention. As we continue the fight to ensure the release of the others as well as other unjustly incarcerated inmates, we thank all through whose support, collaboration, and cooperation this was achieved.
