Summary:
The applicant alleges that he was arbitrarily arrested and detained by state authorities in Togo in circumstances that violated his fundamental rights. He contends that his arrest was not based on lawful grounds and that he was denied prompt access to legal representation and judicial oversight.
The application further asserts that the proceedings against him did not comply with minimum fair trial guarantees, including the right to be informed promptly of the charges, to prepare a defence, and to be tried within a reasonable time.
The case argues that the Republic of Togo breached its regional human rights obligations by violating the right to liberty and security of the person, fair trial guarantees, and the right to an effective remedy. It seeks declaratory relief, reparations, and measures aimed at preventing similar violations in the future.
