Africa-Press – Gabon. <\/strong> <\/span>Les avocats du leader de l’opposition au Gabon, Alain Claude Billie Bay Nzig, accusent les autorite\u0301s d’utiliser un litige financier datant d’environ 18 ans comme pre\u0301texte pour l’e\u0301loigner de la sce\u0300ne politique, affirmant qu’il est de\u0301tenu en isolement depuis plus de trois mois.<\/p>\n

L’e\u0301quipe de de\u0301fense a de\u0301clare\u0301 dans un communique\u0301 que Bay Nzig a passe\u0301 100 jours en de\u0301tention qu’elle qualifie de \u00ab\u00a0politique et arbitraire\u00a0\u00bb, depuis son arrestation le 15 avril dernier, en lien avec un litige financier remontant a\u0300 2008, d’une valeur d’environ 7600 euros.<\/p>\n

Le parti \u00ab\u00a0Ensemble pour le Gabon\u00a0\u00bb, dirige\u0301 par Bay Nzig, a pre\u0301cise\u0301 que les autorite\u0301s l’accusent dans cette affaire de fraude et de de\u0301tournement de fonds, tandis que ses avocats estiment que la re\u0301ouverture de ce dossier ancien vise a\u0300 marginaliser l’un des principaux opposants au pre\u0301sident, Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema.<\/p>\n

Selon le communique\u0301 de la de\u0301fense, Bay Nzig est de\u0301tenu dans une cellule de moins de cinq me\u0300tres carre\u0301s, sans lumie\u0300re, dans l’une des prisons de la capitale Libreville. Ses avocats ont e\u0301galement de\u0301clare\u0301 qu’ils n’avaient pas pu consulter le dossier de l’affaire ni les preuves sur lesquelles reposent les poursuites.<\/p>\n

Les avocats ont indique\u0301 que le juge d’instruction leur avait fait savoir qu’il n’avait plus le dossier de l’affaire, tandis que la cour d’appel de Libreville a rejete\u0301, le 2 juin, une demande de la de\u0301fense visant a\u0300 annuler les proce\u0301dures judiciaires.<\/p>\n

L’avocat de l’opposant gabonais, Arthur Vercken, a de\u0301clare\u0301 que son client e\u0301tait de\u0301tenu sur la base d’un dossier auquel l’e\u0301quipe de de\u0301fense n’a pas eu acce\u0300s, conside\u0301rant cela comme une violation de ses droits le\u0301gaux et des garanties d’un proce\u0300s e\u0301quitable.<\/p>\n

Bay Nzig a e\u0301te\u0301 Premier ministre sous l’ancien pre\u0301sident, Ali Bongo, avant que l’arme\u0301e ne renverse le gouvernement en aou\u0302t 2023, et que le chef de la garde re\u0301publicaine de l’e\u0301poque, Brice Oligui Nguema, prenne le pouvoir.<\/p>\n

Bay Nzig a participe\u0301 aux e\u0301lections pre\u0301sidentielles qui ont eu lieu par la suite contre Nguema, mais n’a pas re\u0301ussi a\u0300 remporter le scrutin, avant de devenir l’un des visages les plus en vue de l’opposition au nouveau pouvoir du pays.<\/p>\n

L’affaire de Bay Nzig soule\u0300ve des questions sur la re\u0301alite\u0301 des liberte\u0301s politiques et l’inde\u0301pendance de la justice durant la pe\u0301riode qui a suivi le gouvernement de transition, alors que l’opposition accuse les autorite\u0301s de restreindre l’espace politique et de poursuivre les opposants.<\/p>\n
