Amnesty International, a non-governmental human rights organization with its headquarters in the United Kingdom has urged the Federal Government of Nigeria to protect the right of citizens to peaceful protest.
The global rights group also counseled security operatives to avoid applying excessive force on protesters like it had occurred last October during the #EndSARS protests against police brutality.
“Amnesty international is calling on all Nigerian authorities to demonstrate commitment to protect the right to peaceful protest. Previous attempts by security agents to repress peaceful protests have led to human rights violations and abuses. #LekkiTollGate.
“The Nigerian govt. must ensure that when protesters exercise their right to freedom of assembly, it must be without fear of harassment or attacks by hoodlums or others opposed to the protests. Security operatives must refrain from excessive use of force on protesters. #EndSARS.”
