"We are very pleased to join in the protest against the harassment which Yannick Bigah is undergoing in Togo.
We are, however, shocked by the fact that the protest is restricted to this single case and only seeks guarantees for human rights associations, whereas Mr Eyadema, Togo’s dictator, is creating many other victims with much more serious consequences.
The European Parliament’s call for a kind of safe-conduct to protect certain associations from the dictatorship is better than nothing, but it would be preferable for it to protest against the dictatorship itself. However, we have to assume that the European Parliament is sensitive to the fact that Mr Eyadema is one of the oldest protégés of French imperialism in Africa. Rather than running the risk of condemning the protector by condemning the dictator, we are restricting the problem to an individual humanitarian case."@en1
