When Justice Is Delayed – The Story ACHPR Doesn’t Want Told
When justice is delayed, it isn’t just a procedural glitch — it’s a direct assault on accountability. For over five months, the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights has failed to release its merits decision in Van Heerden v Republic of South Africa, despite clear legal obligations. Liberty Fighters Network, representing the complainants, has taken the matter to the Pan African Parliament in a bold stand against bureaucratic silence. This is not merely about one case. It’s about a growing pattern where continental institutions turn their backs on the very people they are meant to serve. And yet, while others remain silent, we speak up — without financial backing, without government aid, and without charging a cent. If you believe in truth without compromise and justice without price tags, support our work with a voluntary donation. Together, we can remind the system that the people are watching — and we will not go away quietly.
