Freetown, 3 March 2025 – One year after the landmark ruling by the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice (the Court) in the case of Mohamed Morlu v. Republic of Sierra Leone, AdvocAid et l’Institut pour les droits de l’homme et le développement en Afrique (IHRDA) expriment leur profonde préoccupation face au non-respect par le gouvernement de la Sierra Leone des Court’s orders. The judgment, delivered on 28 February 2024, found Sierra Leone responsible for multiple human rights violations and ordered the State to compensate Mr. Morlu. However, despite repeated attempts to engage the government, there has been no action taken to implement the judgment.
