Honourable Chairperson,
Amnesty International welcomes this opportunity to address the African Commission during its 87th ordinary session.

At least nine African States have received or agreed to receive third country nationals from the United States of America (US): Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Equatorial Guinea, Eswatini, Ghana, Liberia, Rwanda, South Sudan, and Uganda.
