Togo: 3rd festival of film on human rights begins

The third edition of the international festival of the documentary film on human rights began Wednesday in Lomé, the Togolese capital, on the theme: "Transitional justice and perspective".

For four days, in several Togolese towns, a selection of about 30 documentary films on human rights will be shown.

The films, according to the organisers, denounce attacks on human rights and pay tribute to defenders of human rights who operate in very dangerous situations.

In addition to the films, some training workshops and forums are also scheduled to hold at which reconciliation, sustainable development, and human rights violation in Togo would be discussed.

The festival is organised by the International Alliance for Fundamental Human Rights (AIDFH), an NGO which fights for freedom in the world.
