# 									On Sierra Leone’s Election							

Press Statement

Matthew Miller, Department Spokesperson

July 14, 2023

The United States continues to be concerned about irregularities in the election results announced by the Electoral Commission for Sierra Leone (ECSL). Independent parallel vote tabulations and analyses by accredited national and international observation missions raise questions about the integrity of the official results. We call on the government to institute an independent, outside investigation of the elections process and integrate observer recommendations to improve the electoral modalities for future elections.

We are also disturbed by the reports of intimidation – including death threats – against domestic and international observers, civil society organizations, and ECSL personnel.  We call on all actors to exercise restraint and engage in peaceful dialogue to resolve disputes.

The resolve and determination of Sierra Leoneans who went out to the polls on June 24 to make their voices heard was inspiring.  Free and fair elections are essential for any democracy.  The government and political parties must commit to strengthening democratic institutions to better protect the rights and reflect the aspirations of the people of Sierra Leone.

#### Olin Conoley v. The State.

*No. 1224.*

*Decided April 14th, 1897.*

Notice of Appeal—Sufficiency of.

A notice of appeal is sufficiently shown by the following recitals in the judgment overruling defendant’s motion for a new trial, to-wit: “Whereupon the defendant. C., in open court, gave notice of appeal herein to the Court of Criminal Appeals of the State of Texas, which said notice is now here entered of record.”

Appeal from the County Court of Burnet. Tiled below before Hon. J. A. Crews, County Judge.

Appeal from a conviction for willfully maiming, wounding and beating a cow; penalty, a fine of $1.

The Assistant Attorney-General moved to dismiss the appeal, “because no notice of appeal appears in the record.”

There is no statement of facts nor bill of exception in the record.

[No brief for appellant.]

*Mann*Trice, Assistant Attorney-General, for the State.

DAVIDSON, Judge.

Appellant was charged with willfully maiming, wounding and cruelly and unmercifully beating a cow, and upon the trial was fined in the sum of one dollar; hence this appeal. The Assistant Attorney-General moves to dismiss the appeal, because the record does not contain a notice of appeal. We find, in the judgment overruling the motion for a new trial, that appellant did give notice of appeal to this court in the following language: “Whereupon the defendant, Olin Conoley, in open court, gave notice of appeal herein to the Court of Criminal Appeals of the State of Texas, which said notice is here now entered of record.” The motion of the Assistant Attorney-General to dismiss the appeal on this ground is overruled. There are no bills of exceptions in the record, nor is there any statement of facts to be found in the transcript. The first ground of the motion for a new trial is based upon the refusal of the court to “quash the information for the reason set forth in defendant’s plea and motion filed herein.” The record does not contain any motion to quash. We are therefore not advised as to. the grounds of said motion. The information on its face sufficiently charges the offense of “willfully wounding, maiming, and cruelly and unmercifully beating a cow.” The second ground of the motion alleges error on the part of the court in refusing to permit defendant to exhibit to the jury a stick, which was said to be the one used by the defendant in beating the cow. There was no bill of exceptions reserved to this action of the court, if in fact it occurred. The evidence, as stated before, is not before us, and we presume the judgment was supported by the testimony, and it is accordingly affirmed.

*Affirmed.*
HomeOffice of the SpokespersonPress Releases...One Year Anniversary of #WithoutJustCause Political Prisoners Initiative

# 											One Year Anniversary of #WithoutJustCause Political Prisoners Initiative									

Media Note

Office of the Spokesperson

January 11, 2024

Around the world, an estimated one million individuals find themselves behind bars as political prisoners.  Among them are individuals held unjustly for exercising human rights and fundamental freedoms, or detained because of their race, religion, ethnicity, or who they love.  Individuals like Nicaraguan Bishop Rolando Álvarez, who has been unjustly incarcerated for more than 500 days and is currently serving a 26-year sentence in isolation; Russian pro-democracy opposition politician Vladimir Kara-Murza, sentenced to 25 years for criticizing Russia’s brutal war against Ukraine; Iranian lawyer Narges Mohammadi, whom the Iranian regime attempted to retry on additional charges after she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for  activism on behalf of human rights and women’s equality; Dr. Gulshan Abbas, a retired physician and ethnic Uyghur sentenced to 20 years in prison by PRC authorities for an unfounded charge despite preexisting medical conditions that require regular care;  and Tajik human rights lawyer Buzurgmehr Yorov, known for representing individuals prosecuted on political grounds, convicted on an unsubstantiated fraud charge in July that added 10 years to his previous 28-year sentence.  These individuals and so many others like them represent bright lights of hope for their countries that autocratic leaders seek to extinguish.  They serve as critical voices in holding their governments accountable and promoting democratic governance.

One year ago, the United States launched the #WithoutJustCause campaign to galvanize global attention to the outrage of political prisoners detained unjustly around the world, to help the world to learn their stories, and to increase pressure to secure their release.  The individuals highlighted in this initiative represent the diversity of prisoners held unfairly for exercising their human rights and fundamental freedoms; they include faith leaders, civic activists, businesspeople, and former government officials.  As the #WithoutJustCause initiative enters its second year, the United States again calls for the release of the brave women and men whose detention we have highlighted, and more broadly for the release of every single individual imprisoned unjustly around the world.

Action brought on 30 January 2006 — Canteiro Lopez v Commission

(Case F-9/06)

(2006/C 74/69)

Language of the case: French

Parties

Applicant: Rui Canteiro Lopez (Lisbon, Portugal) and Others (represented by: S. Orlandi, A. Coolen, J.-N. Louis, E. Marchal, lawyers)

Applicant:

Defendant: Commission of the European Communities

Defendant:

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:

| — | Annul the decision of the Appointing Authority of 13 October 2005 not to add the applicant's name to the list of officials judged to be the most deserving and not to promote him to Grade A4 in the 2000 promotion exercise. |
| --- | --- |

—

Annul the decision of the Appointing Authority of 13 October 2005 not to add the applicant's name to the list of officials judged to be the most deserving and not to promote him to Grade A4 in the 2000 promotion exercise.

| — | Order the defendant to pay the costs. |
| --- | --- |

—

Order the defendant to pay the costs.

Pleas in law and main arguments

On 21 December 2000, the applicant submitted a complaint against the decision not to promote him to Grade A4 in the 2000 promotion exercise. On 2 July 2001, the defendant allowed that complaint and informed the applicant that action had been taken to finalise his staff report, but this was not done. As a result, the applicant submitted an application for information about the steps taken as a result of that decision of 2 July 2001. The defendant, after having acknowledged that the 1995-1997 and 1997-1999 staff reports had not yet been finalised, offered to set the applicant's 1997-1999 report at the same level as the report which he had obtained for the period 1991-2001.

Although the applicant refused that offer, the defendant nevertheless concluded the applicant's staff report for the period 1997-1999 and decided not to add his name to the list of officials judged to be the most deserving, and not to promote him to Grade A4 in the 2000 promotion exercise.

In support of his action, the applicant first submits that that decision is invalidated inasmuch as it was taken without there being any lawfully finalised staff reports for the periods at issue. The defendant is accused of effectively committing a breach of its administrative duty by not ensuring that the applicant's staff reports for the period between 1 July 1995 and 30 June 1999 were drawn-up at the appropriate time.

The applicant also maintains that the defendant carried out the consideration of the applicant's comparative merits in an improper manner, inasmuch as it made use of alternative criteria, such as age and length of service, which may only be applied where the officials eligible for promotion are of equal merit, a condition which was not met in this instance. The contested decision therefore infringes Article 45 of the Staff Regulations and the principle of equal treatment.

A senior U.S. Government delegation will travel to the United Arab Emirates to participate in the first meeting of the Negev Forum Working Groups on January 9-10, where they will gather with representatives from the Governments of Bahrain, Egypt, Israel, Morocco, and the United Arab Emirates to advance initiatives to encourage regional integration and cooperation.

The U.S. delegation will include Counselor of the Department Derek Chollet, Senior Official for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs Liz Allen, Assistant Secretary for Arms Control, Verification and Compliance Mallory Stewart, USAID Acting Assistant Administrator for the Bureau of the Middle East Andrew Plitt, Ambassador to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Agencies in Rome Cindy McCain, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs Yael Lempert, USAID Senior Deputy Assistant to the Administrator and Global Water Coordinator for the Bureau of Resilience and Food Security Maura Barry, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Middle East Dana Stroul, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy Diplomacy Laura Lochman, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Deputy Director for Infectious Diseases Dr. Jay Butler.

The six Working Groups will focus on the priorities established at the March 2022 Negev Summit:  Food Security and Water Technology; Clean Energy; Tourism; Health; Education and Coexistence; and Regional Security.
