Samura Kamara Demands Release of Detained Protesters, Calls for Respect of Constitutional Rights
Aaron Parker Dr. Samura Kamara, a leading political figure in Sierra Leone, has expressed deep concern over the continued detention of Mr. Wadike Williams and Mr. Thomas Babadi, citizens reportedly arrested while exercising their constitutional right to peaceful protest.
Highlighting the legal framework safeguarding such rights, Dr. Kamara referenced Section 26(1) of the 1991 Constitution, which guarantees the right to freely assemble and associate.
He also cited Sierra Leone’s commitment to the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, particularly Article 20(1), which upholds freedom of peaceful assembly and association.
“The indefinite detention of these individuals raises serious concerns about upholding the rule of law and respecting fundamental rights guaranteed by our constitution and international agreements,” Dr. Kamara stated.
He called on national authorities, moral guarantors, and the international community to ensure due process is observed and to protect the freedoms essential to a united, free, and peaceful Sierra Leone.
Dr. Kamara emphasized the need for collective commitment to democratic principles, urging Sierra Leoneans to remain steadfast in protecting each other’s rights.
He doesn’t want to see Sierra Leoneans happy, otherwise he should have taken to the path of legal interpretation which he woefully failed to do. Again, he subscribed to the tripartite, signed the documents and was part of the conclusion, why the deviation now?
Let’s forget about politics and try to put sierra Leone first.
His senses have finished failing him, by the time he realises it, it would be late for him
Please let us be in peace mr Kamara we need peace we want to enjoy this holiday 🙏
I’m not part 〽️〽️〽️ of this please
I’m waiting for Dr. Richard Konteh times

I don’t have time 😞😞😞
Maada Bio is not Democratic and does not know or understand what Democracy entrails.
Maada Bio deceived the International community by promising them that he was going to conduct a Free, Fair and Credible elections in Sierra Leone. Maada Bio shameless RIGGED and STOLE that elections. Maada Bio is a. THIEF, a LIER and s to KILLER.
The people of Sierra Leone voted against Maada Bio in the June 24 th,2023 elections.
Imagine, a rulling Head of State who conducted the elections was thoroughly beaten by the Opponent.
Maada Bio could not even get 40% of the votes cast. Maada Bio you must have been a BAD leader. Maada Bio you have no interest in the country and the people who mistakenly voted for you in 2018.
If you were a sensible person, you would have learnt that the people of Sierra Leone do not appreciate you as a Leader.
This is simple Logic for you and your political party , the SLPP.
