Amnesty International To Release Report Chronicling Use Of Torture In Nigeria . by drsolob2(m): 7:41am On Sep 05, 2014
Amnesty International (AI) has said it will
release a report to demonstrate widespread
use of torture in Nigeria on September 18.
The report titled: ‘Welcome to hell fire,’
chronicled torture and other ill-treatment in
Nigeria.
A statement by AI’s Global Campaigns and
Thematic Issues Press Officer, Mr. Max
Tucker, said torture in Nigeria was so
prevalent that it was not even classified as a
criminal offence in the country.
He said: “Amnesty International will
highlight in its upcoming report ‘Welcome
to hell fire: Torture and other ill-treatment
in Nigeria’.”
Accordingto him, the report details an
alarming array of torture techniques used
against hundreds of Boko Haram suspects
in the country as Nigeria’s military hunts for
members of the armed group.
He said the use of torture was not restricted
to the Nigerian Army alone as the “police
force, plagued by endemic corruption and a
lack of accountability, is also found to
torture ordinary criminal suspects on an
industrial scale – to extract a confession,
extort money or to target sex workers.”

Amnasty boko international keeps demoralising the Nigerian Army... Wat did Amnasty International have to say about the killing of little children and church goers on Christmas day by boko haram?


Wateva the west have planned for Nigeria using boko haram as an instrument will fail in Jesus name. Amen!



Whether this homosexual right group likes it or not, Nigeria will never legalize their abominable practice.
