NIGERIA: "Bullets were raining everywhere"!!
Global human rights movement Amnesty International has today
published a sixty-page document titled "Nigeria: Bullets were raining everywhere", the report clearly maps out the barbaric human rights violations by
Nigeria's security forces.
In the document following investigations by Amnesty it shows
how: The Nigerian security forces, led by the military, embarked on a chilling
campaign of extrajudicial executions and violence resulting in the deaths of at
least 150 peaceful pro-Biafra protesters in the south east of the country.
Analysis of 87 videos, 122 photographs and 146 eyewitness
testimonies relating to demonstrations and other gatherings between August 2015
and August 2016 consistently shows that the military fired live ammunition with
little or no warning to disperse crowds. It also finds evidence of mass
extrajudicial executions by security forces, including at least 60 people shot
dead in the space of two days in connection with events to mark Biafra
Remembrance Day.
The report in greater detail also covers: Extrajudicial
Executions of Biafrans by Nigeria, Excessive use of Force, Torture, Arbitrary
Arrests and Detention of Biafrans, Pervasive Culture of Impunity within the
Military, The Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu's Arrest and Detention,
the denial of Freedom of Expression and Right of Peaceful Assembly, the
Militarization of routine Police functions, along with accountability and the
recommendations of the human rights group Amnesty International.
