"As a result of the military
of 12th April, the interim President, Raimundo Pereira, and the Prime Minister, Carlos Gomes Júnior, were dismissed, and the National Assembly was dissolved. Looting, human rights violations, arbitrary detention and the violent suppression of peaceful protests are taking place in Guinea-Bissau. The political crisis is diverting attention away from the needs of the population and accelerating the humanitarian crisis. Reports from non-governmental organisations working on the ground are alarming, according to which the illegal government composed of those who carried out the coup continues, with increasing intensity, to violate human rights, in particular, by suppressing civil liberties such as freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of movement and freedom of association. I consider the arbitrary detention, imprisonment and cases of harassment of activists and politicians who protest against the government of self-appointed putschists to be equally deserving of condemnation. I firmly believe that it is essential that the perpetrators of human rights violations be punished for their actions, and that those responsible for violations of the constitutional order be brought to face justice. In this context, I consider the sanctions adopted by the European Union to be justified, and it is no less important that the UN Security Council carries out its threats if the constitutional order is not restored. I am of the opinion that it is important that the fight against impunity and support for the socio-economic development of Guinea-Bissau become priorities in a long-term strategy that takes into account the context and situation at the regional level."@en1
