Detained Venezuelan envoy: African Bar Association urges AU, ECOWAS to prevail on Cape Verde
On
By Victor Arjihromanus
The President of African Bar Association (AfBA) and Nigerian Human Rights Advocate, Mr Hannibal Uwaifo, has called on African Heads of States and governments to persuade the authorities of the Cape Verde Island to rescue itself from the diplomatic sludge of holding on to Ambassador Alex Saab, a doubly accredited Venezuela Special Envoy and Alternate permanent representative to the African Union.
We demand that Alex Saab should be released immediately and his persecution and chastisement in illegal custody in Cape Verde, merely to satisfy the whims of a super power be brought to an end forthwith as has been ordered by a binding unanimous ECOWAS Court ruling on December 2, 2020.
