ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Forum acknowledges the assistance it received from its friends and partners in compiling this
report. Members of the Forum and other organisations not part of the Forum participated in the
provision of data for this report. Several individuals gave testimonies regarding their personal
experiences during 2018, as well as information about what they witnessed with regards human rights
conditions in the country. These accounts are captured throughout the report. The Forum is indebted to
those individuals. The Forum applauds the Secretariat for effectively managing and facilitating the
compilation and production of this report. This work would not have been possible without the
essential support from our development partners who invest in human rights for the dignity of
