The West African Network of Human Rights Defenders (ROADDH) is speaking out strongly and with outrage against the assassination of Vigario Luis Balanta, an iconic figure in the struggle for social justice in Guinea-Bissau.
Three months after this tragedy, the lack of tangible results in the investigations announced by the authorities reflects a troubling lack of action and fuels fears of impunity. For ROADDH, it is imperative that the truth be established and that those responsible for this crime be held accountable for their actions, so that the memory of Vigario Luis Balanta is not betrayed and citizens’ trust in the rule of law is restored.
