The African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR) expressed on May 16, 2026 its “deep concern” regarding reports of abductions in Bamako, including that of lawyer and political figure Me MOUNTAGA TALL.
In its official statement, the Commission recalled key principles related to:
• human dignity,
• liberty,
• personal security,
• and freedom of expression.
The ACHPR also called for immediate efforts to locate the missing persons and for prompt, impartial and independent investigations.
In every society, respect for human dignity must remain a fundamental principle, regardless of political or ideological differences.
