A victim of human rights abuse lauds work of NRC

Piase (Ash), Sept 10, GNA- Opanin Kofi Adubofour, who claimed to be a victim of human rights abuse under the CPP regime, has lauded the work of the National Reconciliation Commission (NRC). He said the Commission has succeeded in healing wounds and restored the confidence of victims of human rights violations under the various undemocratic regimes.

Opaning Adubofour was speaking at a durbar organised by the Bosomtwe-Atwima-Kwanwoma Oistrict office of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) at Piase in Ashanti.

He asked the various democratic institutions like the NCCE and CHRAJ to continue to educate the people on their rights. Mr Atta Agyemang, the NCCE district officer, called on the people to bury their differences and not to take entrenched positions on issues.

He said in this era of reconciliation, there is no need for harbouring hatred or ill feeling against people who trampled upon their rights.
