In celebrating the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture (IDSVT), today, Namibia’s National Society for Human Rights (NSHR) condemns the widespread occurrence of torture in Namibia as well as the perfunctory and haphazard fashion in which the Government of Namibia (GoN) carries out its obligations under international law.

NSHR deplores the veil of secrecy and therefore the sinister fashion under which the Namibian Constitution will soon undergo extensive substantive and procedural amendments.

GWEN LISTER
NAMIBIANS need to take great care not to let anti-Kwanyama sentiments get out of hand, because that's what it seems like, even though the denials are coming thick and fast from those who've been dishing out inciting language in this regard. Deputy Justice Minister Uutoni Nujoma also went too far by blaming the media for anti-Kwanyama sentiments, and this is devoid of all truth, except insofar as they may be reporting on (largely) Swapo speakers in this regard.

NSHR condemns, in the strongest possible terms, the latest verbal attack by the ruling Swapo Party (SP) on the Ovakwanyama Traditional Authority (OTA) and civil servants in the Ohangwena Region. The attack, characterized by flimsy and sweeping accusations, is viewed by some analysts and certain prominent Oshikwanyama-speaking people as part of a systematic witch-hunt against Namibia’s Ovakwanyama community as a whole.
