Mr Collins Fosu, a 58-year-old returnee has petitioned Ministry of Foreign Affairs to assist him demand compensation from the French Government for human rights abuses he suffered in the 1980s.
Mr Fosu wants the Legal Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to prevail on the European Commission of Human Rights to ensure that he gets justice. According to him, the French Government had pestered him since 1981 after he initially refused to undergo surgical operation to remove a hernia at a hospital in Strasburg.
He said even though he later backed down and allowed the surgery to be performed on him the French Government declared him �persona non
grataďż˝ and caused his name to be broadcast on radio stations across
Europe. Mr Fosu, a native of Senfi in the Bekwai Municipality, claimed he was harassed and chased out of European and some African countries by
security agents.
He said the intense harassment by the security agents in Europe
forced him to relocate to Egypt where he unfortunately had an
industrial accident resulting in the amputation of both hands. He appealed to the Ghana Government to assist him claim compensation
for unfair and unjust treatment.
