The Association Action Justice et Droit en Centrafrique (AJDC) fears that the destabilisation accusations made by Interior Minister Bienvenue Zokoué against civil society leaders arrested on 15 October could be paving the way for further arrests of opposition leaders. The organisation expressed this concern in a statement, Corbeaunews Centrafrique reports.
The AJDC’s reaction followed remarks by Zokoué, the Central African Republic’s Minister of the Interior and Public Security, broadcast on national television on 18 October. The minister cited a plan to destabilise the country to justify the arrests of five civil society leaders, who are facing charges in Bangui of disturbing public order. Bienvenue Zokoué’s accusations came before proceedings were opened against the five leaders.
