A Voice For the Voiceless

The Advocacy Project helps marginalized communities to tell their story, claim their rights and produce social change. We recruit graduate students to volunteer as Peace Fellows with partners.

The Impact of Service

Kate Cummings (Tufts University) volunteered in 2009 as a Peace Fellow for Vital Voices in Africa.

COCAP Report - April 11, 2006

 

Collective Campaign for Peace-COCAP condemns the undemocratic and repressive actions of the present unconstitutional government during the nationwide general strike.

 

COCAP  HR Monitoring team has been discriminately denied from getting the curfew pass on 10th and 11th of April. The attempt of COCAP HR Monitoring team requesting senior police authority up to Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) to get curfew pass throughout the morning has not been listened. As a result, the daily monitoring report of the COCAP team has been largely affected. It has been crossing the limitation of autocracy by not allowing we HR Activists to monitor the situation in the riot hit places. It indicates suspicion in the governmental side for use of excessive force and inhuman activities.

 

In the name of curfew, the government has been suppressing the Humanitarian agencies, media and every sector of pubic welfare to a large extent. The dictatorship of the present unconstitutional government has been intolerable for the every commoner of the nation. The government may have to face the international judicial court if it continues to suppress people’s voice and violates people’s civic and political rights.

 

The more the government is exercising the brutality and mercilessness upon the people, the more it will have no right to rule its people. The government is for the security and welfare of the people. If it fails to serve the people as per their wish, it has no right to rule even for a moment on a moral ground. COCAP, in this crucial moment of the nation, strongly condemns the inhuman activities of the government. Further, it demands for the restoration of the peoples rights at its earliest.
