Start this Tuesday of the second phase of psycho-medical care and compensation for victims

A launch ceremony, followed by the provision of psycho-medical care and financial compensation to vulnerable victims, marked the beginning of the second phase of the compensation component of the mission of the High Commission for Reconciliation and the Strengthening of National Unity (HCRRUN) on Tuesday, 27 November 2018.

In her opening remarks for this phase, the President of HCRRUN stated that, “according to the CVJR database, the number of vulnerable victims is estimated at approximately 444, including 123 victims for the period 1958–1989, 268 victims for the period 1990–2004, while the remaining victims are those from 2005 who could not be located during the first phase.”

“As during the previous phase, these vulnerable victims will benefit not only from medical and psychological care, the full cost of which will be covered by HCRRUN, but also from compensation in accordance with the amounts established by the CVJR,” recalled the President of HCRRUN.

She further urged all victims in general, and vulnerable victims in particular, to demonstrate patience and understanding, assuring them that the State, through HCRRUN, remains committed to ensuring that no one is left behind in the ongoing reparations process.
