  • Academic freedom & human rights abuses in Africa.

Description

Academic communites in africa have traditionally been a vulnerable target of state repression. Governments of the left and the right, military regimes as well as civilian administrations, have felt threatened by the essential function of academics: to exercise, and to develop in their students, a spirit of critical inquiry. At a time when Africa is experiencing the emergence of civilian movements advocating respect for human rights, academic freedom is increasingly under attack.
