Open Letter to Navi Pillay

As a Human Rights activist I have worked with and received protection and help from the many conventions that come under the United Nations. The conventions make it legal for us to campaign for the many causes we stand for they make them legal and they unite us in the many nations we work from.

It has been a source of comfort until this week. Senegal was ready to repatriate Hissene Habre and your office appealed against that.
Besides asking why my first question is where is the justice for the poor and the many souls he killed and tortured??
Why does the Convention Against Torture work to protect the perpetrator and never the victim?

We live and work on a continent where the poor, the voiceless and those with no title in the past or present do not know what justice is. They put up with abuses from every angle in their lives. The ones meant to protect them will not do so without some form of 'initiative'. The justice system somehow does not recognise you should you be nameless. You are born the looser and should nothing miraculous happen in your life be pretty certain you are going to die in that way. In as much as individuals work for the change of these situations change is very very far from coming.
Firstly because very few people are willing to say anything and when they say things start lobbying and advocating for change if they do not die they get frustrated. Frustration comes from brick wall after brick wall. The right intentions are there abut the support to end the fight somehow disappears in bureaucracy.

Hissene Habre has a history that is well known. The man butchered unknown numbers of people from 1982 - 1990. He carried out ethnic cleansing in 1984, 1987 and 1989. His secret police brought untold suffering to anyone who dared stand against him 200 000 recorded. He was a bloodthirsty tyrant and torturer history shows and Human Rights Watch has more than enough evidence.

For 17 years this man has lived in exile and under 'house arrest' and in some sort of comfort obviously and the whole world knows. It took Dakar donkey years to come up with some sort of legislature to try him and guess what THEY STILL HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING.
Then they decide to extradite him on July 11 and your office campaigned against it and you won, obviously.

I am writing to ask for justice for the victims of this man's many crimes. I am writing for the restoration of fairness. I am writing for powers to be given to the powerless. I am writing for the giving of dignity to those that have been stripped of it by his 'human rights' which apparently did not count when he denied other people.

This man has to be tried. People like you should stop protecting him. Let justice prevail. Wipe the tears off the many orphans he created the widows and widowers whose lives he forever changed.
This is the human side to human rights defending.

In being politically correct you are rendering years and years of work lobbying and advocating worthless. There are people who need protection this man is not one of them. This continued support and protection being given to him is serving as an allowance for countless other tyrants to continue on their course of action now...knowing your office will plead their case when time come for them to face the music.

THIS NEEDS TO STOP!
