1 | A Legal Solution to Mob Justice in Nigeria? | Vahaolana Ara-dalàna Ho An'ny Fitsaràm-bahoaka Any Nizeria? |
2 | This post is part of our International Relations & Security coverage. | Mpianatry ny Anjerimanontolon'i Port Harcourt efatra novonoina, avy amin'ny babajidesalu.wordpress.com |
3 | University of Port Harcourt's four murdered students via babajidesalu.wordpress.com On October 5, 2012, four students of the University of Port Harcourt in Nigeria were beaten and burnt to death by a lynch mob, for allegedly stealing a Blackberry phone and a laptop. | Tamin'ny 5 Oktobra 2012, mpianatra efatra avy tao amin'ny Anjerimanontolon'i Port Harcourt any Nizeria no nodarohana ary nodoran'ny fokonolona mpanao fitsaram-bahoaka, noho izy ireo voalaza fa nangalatra finday Blackberry sy solosaina filanja. |
4 | The tragic deaths of the students - now known as the Aluu4 - have caused outrage and plenty of online discussion about the serious problem of mob justice in Nigeria. | Ny fahafatesana mampahonena nanjo an'i Mike Lloyd Toku, Chiadika Lordson, Ugonna Kelechi Obusor ary Tekena Elkanah - fantatra amin'ny solon'anarana hoe Aluu4 - dia niteraka hatezerana sy adihevitra tamin'ny aterineto momba ny olana goavan'ny fitsaram-bahoaka any Nizeria. |
5 | It has also created opportunities for citizens to raise public awareness and propose solutions. | Io dia nanokatra ihany koa làlana ho an'ireo olom-pirenena mba hanairana ny sain'ny olona sy handrosoana vahaolana. |
6 | Noting the absence of legal provisions against mob justice, blogger Okechukwu Ofili posted a petition on October 18 for a mob justice prohibition bill signed by himself and “Nigerians Fighting for CHANGE” (read the full draft bill here) that has so far gathered more than 3,500 signatures. | Raha nanamarika ny tsy fisian'ny fepetra ara-dalàna manohitra ny fitsaràm-bahoaka, namoaka fanangonan-tsonia ilay mpitorala blaogy Okechukwu Ofili tamin'ny 18 Oktobra ho an'ny lalàna mandràra ny fitsaràm-bahoaka izay nosoniavin'izy tenany sy ireo “Nizeriana mitolona ho an'ny FIOVANA” (vakio ato ny antsipirihan'ilay volavolan-dalàna ) ka hatreto dia nahangona sonia maherin'ny 3500. |
7 | Ofili explains: | Manazava i Ofili: |
8 | This scene Mob Justice has gradually become a normal way of life in Nigeria. | Nihalasa fahazarana andavanandro ity trangana Fitsaràm-bahoaka ity aty Nizeria. |
9 | As people/communities usurp the law and take matters into their own hands. | Satria ny olona/fiaraha-monina mandika ny lalàna dia mamaha ireo olana amin'ny heriny manokana. |
10 | Now we know that there are no dependable statistics or numbers regarding Mob Justice occurrences in Nigeria, but what we do know is that has been happening for years. | Ankehitriny fantatsika fa tsy misy salanisa na antontanisa azo antoka momba ny Fitsaràm-bahoaka aty Nizeria, fa ny fantatsika dia efa an-taonany maro izany no nisy. |
11 | And for years we have complained, we have cried and we have watched, but nothing has changed as Mob Justice still occurs with its perpetrators largely going unpunished. | Ary an-taonany maro isika no nitaraina, nitomany sy nanatrika, nefa tsy nisy fiovàna satria mbola misy hatrany ny fitsaràm-bahoaka ary tsy voasazy ireo mpanatanteraka izany. |
12 | This is largely due to the fact that people have lost faith in a police force and judicial system that have been derailed by corruption, incompetence, and inadequate resources. | Izany dia satria tsy matoky ireo mpitandro filaminana sy ny rafi-pitsaràna izay nosimbàn'ny kolikoly, tsy fahampiana traikefa ary fitaovana tsy izy intsony ny vahoaka. |
13 | But also exacerbating the matter is the absence and lack of recognition of Mob Justice (and its many variations) as a crime in our Federal Laws, most particularly our CRIMINAL CODE ACT, CAP C38 LFN 2004. | Nefa koa manampy trotraka ny haratsian'ny olana dia noho ny tsy fisiana na tsy fahampiana fanekena ny Fitsaràm-bahoaka (sy ireo endriny maro hafa) ho heloka ao anatin'ny Lalàna Federalintsika, indrindra ny LALANA MAMARITRA NY HELOKA BEVAVA, CAP C38 LFN 2004. |
14 | An act which in its robust 145 page listing of criminal acts makes no mention or reference to Mob Justice…it covers Ritual Killings, Riots and even Counterfeit Stamps, but not Mob Justice. | Lalàna miaraka amin'ny pejy matevina miisa 145 mitanisa ireo heloka rehetra nefa tsy milaza ny momba ny fitsaràm-bahoaka… milaza ny fanaovana sorona, fanakorontanana ary ny fanaovana hajia sandoka aza, nefa tsy misy momba ny fitsaràm-bahoaka. |
15 | Two senators have received copies of the bill for consideration. | Loholona roa no nahazo dika tamin'io lalàna io mba hodinihina. |
16 | If passed into law it would introduce jail sentences and fines for perpetrators of mob justice and the communities where the violence takes place. | Raha lany ho lalàna izany dia hisy ny fampidirana am-ponja sy sazy ara-bola ho an'ireo mpanatanteraka fitsaràm-bahoaka sy ireo fiaraha-monina nitrangan'ny herisetra. |
17 | It would also become a felony for citizens or police to stand by and watch an attack without attempting to disperse the crowd. | Ho lasa heloka ho an'ny olom-pirenena na mpitandro filaminana ihany koa ny fijoroana akaiky sy fanatrehana izany nefa tsy niezaka nanaparitaka ny vahoaka akory. |
18 | As part of the campaign to seek justice for the Aluu4, a group of bloggers helped organize a Tweet-a-thon on October 25 using the hashtags #NeveragainNG and #Aluu4 in order to try to make the topic trend on Twitter in Nigeria. | Mba ho isan'ny fanentanana fitakiana fahamarinana ho an'ny Aluu4, nisy vondrona mpitoraka blaogy nanampy nikarakara ny Tweet-a-thon tamin'ny 25 Oktobra tamin'ny fampiasàna ny tenifototra #NeveragainNG sy #Aluu4, mba hiezahana hampalaza izany lohahevitra izany tao amin'ny Twitter any Nizeria. |
19 | In an email interview, Kathleen Ndongmo, a Cameroonian citizen based in Lagos, Nigeria who has been active in the campaign, describes how they hope to inspire more action against mob justice: | Tanatina fanadihadiana tamin'ny mailaka, Kathleen Ndongmo, teratany Kamerone mipetraka any Lagos, Nizeria izay navitrika tamin'ny fanentanana, dia manoritsoritra ny hanantenan-dry zareo hisarihana hetsika bebe kokoa manohitra ny fitsaram-bahoaka: |
20 | 1. The petition is used as a trigger. | 1. Natao ho fanairana io fanangonan-tsonia io. |
21 | It will be historical if the people can change the current criminal act. It will give a lot of confidence to activists, groups who have been working for years to change the judiciary, the police and the law on this issue. | Hanan-tantara izany raha afaka manova ny lalàna efa misy ankehitriny momba ny heloka bevava ny vahoaka. Hanome fahatokisan-tena betsaka ho an'ireo mafana fo izany, sy ireo vondrona niady an-taonany maro ho an'ny fanovàna ny fitsaràna, ny manampahefàna ary ny lalàna momba io olana io. |
22 | 2. Then there should be awareness, education, because there is a knowledge gap somewhere that we have to solve. | 2. Avy eo tokony hisy fahatsiarovan-tena, fanabeazana, satria misy tsy fahampiam-pahalalàna any ho any, izay tokony hovahantsika. |
23 | 3. Last but not least, a work of advocacy will be undertaken for the implementation of judiciary and police reforms. | 3. Farany nefa tsy atao latsa-danja, hisy asa fiarovana atao mba hametrahana ny fanovàna ara-pitsaràna sy amin'ny manampahefàn'ny polisy. |
24 | This holistic approach will help us achieve the goal of a sustainable grassroots movement to create dialogue for change. | Ity hetsika ankapobeny ity dia hanampy antsika hahatratra ny tanjona ho an'ny hetsika fototra maharitra mba hitarihana dinika ho an'ny fanovàna. |
25 | Nigerian website Premium Times reported on October 18 that 13 suspects have been charged with conspiracy and murder at the Magistrate Court in Port Harcourt. | Ny vohikala Nizeriana Premium Times dia nitatitra tamin'ny 18 Oktobra fa olona 13 nahiahiana no nomelohana noho ny tsikombakomba sy famonoan'olona tao amin'ny Fitsaràn'ny Port Harcourt. |
26 | This post and its translations to Spanish, Arabic and French were commissioned by the International Security Network (ISN) as part of a partnership to seek out citizen voices on international relations and security issues worldwide. | Ity lahatsoratra ity sy ny dikanteny amin'ny Espaniola, Arabo ary Frantsay dia tohanan'ny International Security Network (ISN) ao anatin'ny fiaraha-miasa hikatsahana ny feon'ny olon-tsotra momba ny fifandraisana iraisam-pirenena sy ny fiarovana manerantany. |
