New Force Movement’s Shalimar Abbiusi to sue Ghana at ECOWAS Court for human rights violations

Shalimar Abbiusi, the former spokesperson for the New Force Movement, has announced her decision to sue the state of Ghana at the international ECOWAS court for human rights violations and injustice.

The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) arrested and subsequently deported Shalimar on a charge of illegal entry in December 2023. The GIS was highly criticised for human rights abuses by Ms. Shalimar’s attorney, Francis-Xavier Sosu.

In a post on her X profile (formerly Twitter) on Friday, March 22, the Belgian said, “I can finally share the news that I will be taking the state of Ghana to international ECOWAS court for the violation of my human rights and the injustice I have suffered. Thanks to @fx_sosu [Francis-Xavier Sosu] and @thenewforcegh for fighting this battle with me.”

She went on to state, “Whatever happened will not break me or silence me, it inspired me to help others and bring attention to these injustices. This bold step I’m taking is not out of pain or revenge but rather out of love for humanity and for the love of people who became victims in similar circumstances.”

“My dear people this fight is not just for me but for every single person who has suffered injustice, this fight is for every single person that I encountered in the cells during my unlawful detention and for every human being who doesn’t have a voice to speak up,” said Shalimar Abbiusi.
