The Alliance for Accountable Governance, known as AFAG, is worried about people being intimidated and arrested for speaking out against the government. AFAG says this is happening more often.
AFAG stated that in a country where people have rights, criticizing the government should not be a crime. They also said that disagreeing with leaders is not the same as betraying the country.
The group believes that asking tough questions about how the country is run is important for a healthy democracy.
AFAG is calling for an end to these actions. They want citizens to feel safe to express their views without fear of punishment.
The group emphasized that freedom of speech is a key part of a constitutional democracy.
AFAG urged authorities to respect the rights of citizens to voice their opinions freely.
