For immediate release. CAUTION graphic image.

IHRC has received further credible evidence, including but not solely photographs and testimonies, of mass graves where the army is reported to have buried mass fatalities from their killing spree of the last few days in Zaria. There have been claims that bodies have been incinerated.

One of the pieces of photographic evidence is appended below. The image [1] is graphic and caution is advised when viewing.

IHRC is calling on the African Union, the United Nations and the Commonwealth to suspend Nigerian membership and privileges, and to demand the release of all those detained.

Chair of IHRC, Massoud Shadjareh said: “This is a crushing indictment of the Nigerian military if one were necessary. The international community cannot sit by and say and do nothing any longer.”

For more information, please contact IHRC on +44 20 8904 4222, or +44 7958522196.

Indeed, its an old pix, i saw this pix long before this Army and Shia problem. Much as am not in support of NA for its actions against the Shia minority, like they do to other Christian/Animist minority in Northern Nigeria that suffers the same fate the Shia Minority just underwent, am against bare-face lie. IHRC should carry out a better investigation.
