ACAT-Togo and YMCA plead for the dignity of detainees in Togo

The leaders of the Action of Christians for the Abolition of Torture in Togo (ACAT-Togo) and the Christian Union of Young People (UCJG / YMCA) are worried about the deplorable conditions of detainees in Togo. On Tuesday in Lomé, they launched a vast campaign called "dignity in favor of the prisoners".

According to the initiators, this campaign is part of the project "Access to justice and rehabilitation of vulnerable young people in Togo". The objective is to address the challenges of prison conditions in some prisons across the country.

To help improve the living conditions and detention of outlaws, the initiators intend to conduct a tour of capacity building of key players, visit the prisons of Lomé, Tsévié, Aného, Atakpamé, Kpalimé Sokodé and Kara. It will enable observation reports to be produced to help, for example, implement the recommendation of the Universal Periodic Review relating to this topic.

"We have planned a number of actions, including the training of prison supervisors in Togo, targeting 6 prisons for training tours, advocacy for improving the conditions of Prisoners are taken, "said Gérard Kokou Atohoun, Secretary General of the UCJG.

The conditions of detainees in Togo are no longer to be described. At the Lomé Civil Prison, for example, there are more than 2,000 prisoners to be detained for 666 persons initially planned.

Ibeji (Twins) In Yoruba land, one of the most important things done when a child is born is to give the child a name. This comes after the child’s ritual birth, massage of specific body parts and other rites as well. Names are given to the child by the father, mother, grandparents (paternal and maternal) and some close relatives also.

He was the only son of Duke Alberic II (932–954) of Spoleto, then ruler of Rome.

Since the leaders loved the dying father, they kept their word to him and elected Octavianus as the 130th Roman Catholic Pope succeeding Pope Agapetus II after the pope’s death on November 8, 955. Octavianus adopted the apostolic name of John XII. He was the third pontiff to take a regnal name upon elevation to the papal chair; the first being Pope John II (533–535), whose birth name was Mercurius and the second, Pope John III (561–574), whose birth name was Catelinus. Right from the start, in relation to secular issues, the new pope issued his directives under the name of Octavianus, while in all matters relating t...
