The general secretary of the Confederation of Free Trade Unions of Côte d’Ivoire ( Dignité), Basile Mahan Gahé, died in Abidjan on Monday 16th September 2013. After being released on bail in December 2012 following several months’ detention, Mr Gahé was in Geneva for the 102nd session of the International Labour Conference in June 2013 to thank ILO and the international trade union movement who had fought for his release. In tribute to the recently departed African trade unionist, here is the last interview he gave to ACTRAV INFO, during his stay in Geneva.
