BILIE-BY-NZE : MAÎTRE VERCKEN DÉMONTE L’AFFAIRE CIVILE ET POINTE LE POLITIQUE

Arthur Vercken, the lawyer for Alain-Claude Bilie-By-Nze, discusses his client's detention and refutes the portrayal of the case as a simple civil dispute. He asserts that the defense has never had access to the criminal file and reports that the investigating judge allegedly stated he no longer has it. The lawyer also announces that he has appealed to several international bodies, including the African Commission on Human Rights, the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, and the Commonwealth Secretariat. He defends the presumption of innocence, calls for an independent judiciary, and challenges the government regarding the imprisonment of its opponents. The statements made regarding the case, the procedure, and the political nature of the case are those of Mr. Vercken in this statement and do not constitute legally established facts. #BilieByNze #Gabon #Justice #OliguiNguema #PrincessOfSouba #MisterThePhoenix
