General Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema met with us.
Three times.
Yet, before the world, he claimed the opposite.
He denied our presence outside the central prison.
He denied the torture.
He swore he would not interfere in this âcase,â maintaining the illusion of an impartial justice system.
The reality is quite different.
The videos secretly filmed during our detention â some of which
have already been released â are unequivocal. Prosecutors, investigating judges, the prison administration⊠all admit they are acting under the direct authority of the military, with no choice
but to obey.
In the excerpt attached to this post, he can be heard asking us to remain silent. To keep quiet about the dispossessions.
Not to âseek revenge.â
My response is clear: telling the truth is not an act of revenge.
It is a demand for dignity.
It is a demand that justice cease to be a political weapon and once again become a fundamental right.
