Amnesty International warned that threatening intended peaceful protesters is unlawful, adding that Nigerians have the constitutional right to protest.
The Amnesty International, AI, has issued a warning to the Nigerian government.
It warned President Bola Tinubu’s administration against threatening Nigerians planning to protest against the current hardship and hunger in the country.
AI warned that threatening intended peaceful protesters is unlawful, adding that Nigerians have the constitutional right to protest.
Recall that Nigerians have been charged to file out in August to protest against Tinubu’s government following the bad economic situation in the country.
Following the call, Tinubu’s media aide, Dada Olusegun warned that the intending protesters would meet the strongest resistance of their lives if they opt to protest against the Nigerian government.
Olusegun warned that those who gave Tinubu the mandate to rule the country would strongly resist the protest.
Reacting, AI posted on X: ”Threatening peaceful protesters is unlawful. It is a clear attack on freedom of assembly — which is guaranteed by international law and Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution:
”Nigerians must not be denied the constitutionally and internationally guaranteed right to peaceful protest; through veiled threats of violence and false insinuations.”
