21 February 2011

French officers were involved with the gabonese security forces this afternoon, in the oppression in the capital of Gabon, prohibiting gabonese people to proteste peacefully. 

We call President Obama and human rights activist defenders to take a good look at what is happening in Gabon. We believe a mass killing in on it's way in Gabon. 

Why are the French barring gabonse people from marching peacefully?

This is a violation of the universal declaration of human rights adopted and proclaimed by the General assembly of the United Nations on November 10, 1948.
