Wtf

Trash !

Our democracy took a black eye with this statement by Amnesty International.
I hope and pray that our leaders will treat this issue with maturity and fairness.
This is 2016 and not 1980's for crying out loud.

Says IPOB has right to free expression, assembly
· Nigerians must fight for their rights
 
Amnesty Internation­al (AI), the global hu­man rights body, has stated that supporters of the Indigenous Peoples of Bi­afra (IPOB) have a right to free­dom of expression and freedom of assembly.

The organization also noted that it was still investigating dis­turbing reports of the massacre of unarmed members of IPOB and their alleged burial in a mass grave in Aba, Abia State, by Nigerian se­curity operatives.
The organization also stated that extra-judicial killing remains a major issue in Nigeria, beyond the context of the security opera­tions in the North-East.

The organization said it was very concerned about what is hap­pening in the South East of Ni­geria - going by reports of har­assment and intimidation of unarmed people exercising their basic freedoms of expression and assembly.
 
According to Amnesty, Nige­rians must understand and fight for their rights - given the fact that Nigeria is a signatory to the Rome Treaty.

The global body expressed these positions at the launch of Amnesty International Annual Re­port 2015/2016, at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja, yesterday.
Ambassador M.K. Ibrahim, the Country Director of AI, field­ed questions from journalists after the report presentation. His words: “We are extremely worried and con­cerned at what is happening in the South-East because of the treatment of the supports of IPOB with regards to their freedom of expression and freedom of assembly.

“While Amnesty does not re­port or work on issues of self-deter­mination, which are political issues, we are terribly concerned with the steps being taken by the authorities to violate freedom of expression and freedom of assembly of the IPOB.

“Amnesty has a standard in con­ducting these investigations. We have seen pictures, we have heard stories. But before Amnesty Interna­tional will publish anything we have to verify. We have very rigid verifi­cation standard and that is what we are doing right now.

“We want whatever we print to stand by it. I can assure you that soon you will see our report on the plight of IPOB in the context of ex­pressing their freedom of expression and right to assembly.


“We are concerned with the cas­es, the stories we are seeing about people being killed while protest­ing. Let me emphasise again that our verification standard has no short-cut. At the moment we are investi­gating.”

Responding to its position on extra-judicial killings in Nigeria, Amnesty said that, “Ex-judicial kill­ing is a major issue here, beyond the context of the security operations in the North-East. And this is one of the issues that ignited Boko Haram - the extra-judicial killing of Mo­hammed Yusuf.”

On the Nigerian military and rights violations, it stated that, “The military is an honourable institution and should be a respectable organi­zation everywhere in the world. We thought that the Nigerian military should also be in that class. We have nothing against the military as an institution.

“But in the conduct of their operations in the North-East – and this fact-finding and research took us two years – we found out unfor­tunately that there was gross human rights violations by the military.

We have gathered a lot of evidence as we have indicated in our report.
“We have 90 videos, inter­viewed over 490 witnesses, victims and doctors. We know from our re­search, especially using technology, that such violations actually took place. What we are asking is for the government which has an obliga­tion and a duty to protect the life of every Nigerian to look into these complaints.

“We have made recommenda­tions and there should be an inde­pendent, impartial panel of inves­tigators to look into these human rights violations. The purpose of do­ing this is to ensure that we stop the preponderance of such violations. The government has promised us that these violations will be inves­tigated.”

On the laid-back attitude of Ni­gerians with regards to regular vio­lations of their rights, Amnesty stat­ed that citizens must wake up and fight for their rights.
 
 In Ibrahim’s words: “Nigerians should wake up and fight for their rights. Human rights education is the key here. Nigeria is signatory to the Rome Treaty. If Nigeria is violat­ing its constitution, ultimately it’s for Nigerians to fight for our rights. We have a constitution.
“If the constitution says that you should not be detained for more than 24 hours and we see people detained for months, years; it is our duty as Nigerians to say that we are not respecting our constitution.

“It is only when we do that that our rights will be respected; will be protected by our government and security agencies.”
In its report proper, present­ed in a summary format, Amnes­ty noted that: “Protests for an inde­pendent state of Biafra took place in the South and South East. On 14 October, Nnamdi Kanu, leader of IPOB and director of Radio Bi­afra, was arrested and charged with criminal conspiracy, managing and belongin to an unlawful society and intimidation.
“On 17 December, the Federal High Court in the capital Abuja or­dered his unconditional release from the custody of the Department of State Services.

“However, he was not released and charged with treason on 18 De­cember. He remained in detention at the end of the year.”
Amnesty’s summary report swept through the March 28, 2015 general elections, conflict between the military and Boko Haram and war crimes on both divides; retire­ment of all service chiefs appointed by former President Goodluck Jon­athan by President Muhammadu Buhari, Dasukigate, communal vio­lence, death penalty, housing/wom­en rights, corporate accountability and deficits in criminal justice ad­ministration in Nigeria.

All these propaganda is dead on arrival

The Nigerian military has shown restraint in the face of provocation from the mentally disturbed IPOB youths

When they attack the military , they should be ready to face the consequences next time

These idiots should go investigate the racist attacks in their countries first. Hypocrites

Abeg na who Amnesty international done epp

LoveMachine:
Does Amnesty International ever investigate crimes by law enforcement in America towards blacks or do they only "investigate" African countries?

Don't mind them,just like united nations and international court of justice,their work place is only in africa,talking about mass grave,what have they done about the mass graves discovered in Ramadi in the northern iraq?
What have they done about the prison camp presently in north korea?
what have they done about marikana massacre in south africa?
What have they done about the human right abused currently going in syria?
To hell with amnesty international,to hell with ipob,and to hell with egbos.

Ok

Go and ask all your under murderous regime how slowly but surely, report by report they where brought to justice.

You are bastard and blood sucker. I am sure the sudden death you wish IPOB members will catch up
with you soon and someday. The goat that rejoices at the slaughtering of other goats always end up roasted alive.
Idiot...

Mostly in African countries. That's where most beasts live.

I dare to tell Buhari to stop killing my brothers.
Adugo is back again!

asa m will you marry me

zendy:
As we all know, the Buhari administration is not a respecter of the constitution. Not even Buhari or his fellow APC followers know about the doctrine of "presumed to be innocent until proven guilty in a competent court". That's why Buhari came on live TV to declare Dasuki and Kanu guilty, that's Buhari doesn't know what bail means and that's why you APC supporters shouting 'jail him!' 'Execute him!' 'Hang him'.


Every time that Amnesty international and other human rights organisations report the killings,torture and illegal arrest of people, it not only discredits the regime of Buhari, it also seriously dents the image of Nigeria because these organisations have a worldwide following.

I have no doubt in my mind that the murderous regime of Buhari will slaughter thousands more Nigerians before the first term is over. Buhari is an ex military man who thinks that everything in life is solved by guns and bullets.

As we all know,ipob leader and their followers don't obey the constituted authourity,their leader enter this country without using his Nigeria or british passport,yet to them it was right,the illiterates Igbos were warned by law enforcement agents not to disrurbed the peace of the estern Nigeria,yet they went to the streets burning mosques,shops,trucks and disrupting the economic activities of onitsha market,forcing people to join the protest,yet you called that peaceful protest,if you people think buhari administration is a walkover,i adviced you to think again.
Biafra is a bad dream.

Tomorrow one stupid man will tell you that Nigeria is one....... Since i was born i have never heard about one Ghana, one America, one Holland etc. it is only in Nigeria that you hear one Nigeria........

Don't mind the idiots! Only lies need ammendment and padding. Science told us that water and oil are imixible subsatnces, but here in the zoo, hausa,lgbo and yoruba must become one. Of course you have to keep chanting one Nigeria to continue feeding gullible individuals who are insatiable of lies.

dicefrost:


Where else in the world do soldiers fire at unarmed protesters if not Africa and the middle east??

Nigeria and Africa is a lawless society

Amnesty international should go and die.Nigeria has more important issues to address than this Ipob nonsense. When more than 50 Biafra Agitators bodies were recovered from Ezzu river in the east during the govt of GEJ,they(Igbo's) didn't make noise as they are currently doing.

I support freedom of assembly and expression, as should any reasonable person.

I do not support the hounding of Muslims, blocking of federal roads and intimidation of traders into closing shops to join protests they may not believe in.

I do not suppose freedom of expression fully covers chanting war songs and carrying treasonous placards.

More importantly, I have always condemned police and armed forced brutality, and this is no exception. Even if arrests may be justified in some situations, the use of deadly force on unarmed people is deplorable.

If Buhari continues the wanton killing of unarmed protesters and the incessant violation of human rights of Nigerians, he would end up being taken to the ICC at the Hague.

tunjion:



Go and ask all your under murderous regime how slowly but surely, report by report they where brought to justice.

Wake up boss.... Firstly, it was an herculean task trying to comprehend your english.
Secondly, kindly enlighten me as to who A.I done prosecute?

Am surprised nobody is talking about that massacre in aba. just like the one in zaria and the one done by fulani herdsmen everywhere. we have just kept silent before all these evil because of ethnic affiliation.
that massacre in aba is so evil. can make u cry.
We will await amnesty international to publish their report.
