Our Government Must Stop Its Habit Of Arresting Innocent Protesters – SERAP

Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has come out to say that the Federal government led by President Muhammadu Buhari should release the recently arrested #EndSARS protesters.

The group recently had their say amid the arrest via a statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to SERAP, Mr Macaroni’s arrest was very unlawful, and such move should always be avoided by a government that wants to practice democracy.

The group added that the United Nations and concerned governments need to warn the Nigerian authorities to end the crackdown on peaceful protesters in Nigeria for good.

It read, “Release unlawfully detained Mr. Macaroni. Release unlawfully detained #EndSARS protesters. The United Nations and concerned governments should press the Nigerian authorities to end the crackdown on peaceful protesters, and unconditionally release those arbitrarily detained.”

“We urge Nigerian authorities and Police to immediately and unconditionally release #EndSARS protesters detained simply for peacefully exercising their human rights.”

“Authorities should also cease harassing people peacefully exercising their human rights. We’ll pursue appropriate legal actions if the #EndSARS protesters arbitrarily arrested simply for peacefully exercising their human rights are not immediately and unconditionally released.”

“Peaceful assembly is a fundamental right. We’ll pursue appropriate legal actions if the #EndSARS protesters arbitrarily arrested simply for peacefully exercising their human rights are not immediately and unconditionally released.
