The Complainants argue that, according to the Victims, they were discriminated against in the enjoyment of their rights in violation of the AC HP R African Charter on the basis of their sex and political opinion. They note that the African Commission in Legal Resource Foundation v Zambia noted that, „the right to equality‟ is very important.11 76. They submit further that, in Association Mauritanienne des droits de l’homme v Mauritania,12 the African Commission emphasized that “Article 2 of the African Charter lays down principles that is essential to the spirit of this Convention, one of whose goals is the elimination of all forms of discrimination and to ensure equality among all human beings.”13 77. The Complainants further allege that, the main reason why the Victims were assaulted by the authorities is due to the fact that they hold particular political views, are women and journalists. According to the Complainants, this is evidenced by the sexual nature of the violations. 11 Ibid para 63. 12 Communication 210/98- Association Mauritanienne des droits de l’homme v Mauritania (2000) ACHPR. 13 Ibid para 131 19
