Human Rights Specialist
Regional Analyst on Armed Conflict and Political Repression
Legal and Social Researcher
I provide expert analysis on all five Refugee Convention grounds: political opinion, religion, ethnicity, membership of a particular social group (including LGBT and gender-based cases), and nationality, with a focus on Central Africa.
This includes:
- Political persecution of activists, journalists, opposition members, and trade unionists.
- Religious repression, including targeting of minority churches, non-registered religious groups, and converts.
- Ethnic discrimination against marginalised groups such as the Baka, Twa, and other forest peoples, as well as ethnic minorities in conflict zones.
- Gender-based violence, including rape as a weapon of war, impunity in domestic abuse, and persecution of women activists.
- Harassment, criminalisation, and violence against LGBT individuals by both state and non-state actors.
- Widespread state and militia violence, enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and torture.
- Suppression of free expression and peaceful protest, often under anti-terrorism or public order laws.
- Denial of identity documentation and legal status, especially in displaced and rural populations.
