TRRC Victim Statement Form

The TRRC hereby invites all persons who suffered human rights violations and abuses perpetrated by the State or its agents from the period July 1994 to January 2017, to submit their complaints to the TRRC by downloading and completing the statement Form below.  Persons who have already submitted their complaints and have not testified publicly or privately before the Commission do no need resubmit. 

This is to ensure that all genuine complainants are included in the TRRC process and that those persons granted victim status can be considered for reparations. This is in line with the TRRC’s mandate to grant reparations to an applicant who is a victim upon consideration of the evidence received or obtained in order to restore the human and civil dignity of the victim (TRRC Act, 20.1). 

Please note that the complaints must be in relation to the TRRC’s mandate and this includes acts of torture, unlawful killings, sexual and gender based violence, enforced disappearances of persons, inhumane and degrading treatment, arbitrary arrest and detention without trial. The completed form must be submitted to the following e-mail address: 

Also note that applicants can alternatively submit their statement in person at the TRRC premises or during outreach missions.
