International Body Calls For Nnamdi Kanu Release by playboy99(m): 11:23am On Sep 19, 2016 |
It seems that the international community has heard the outcry for the release of Nnamdi Kanu. An international body, known as Inter Society (IS), whose full name is: International society for civil liberties and rule of law, has written an open letter asking for Kanu’s release. Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra Only yesterday, Bishop Abraham Chris Udeh, the general overseer of Mount Zion Faith Global Ministries Inc, aka (By Fire By Fire), berated the international community over its silence in the continued imprisonment of the Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Below is the an excerpt from the open letter: International Justice Appeal Freedom Of Nnamdi Kanu (Leader Of Indigenous Of Biafra-IPOB) OPEN LETTER TO: (1) The Honourable British Prime Minister (2) Distinguished British Parliamentarians (3)Distinguished European Union Leaders (4) Distinguished American Congressmen & Women (5) Distinguished US Political Leaders (6) Distinguished Canadian Leaders & Parliamentarians (7)Other Internationally Distinguished Personalities (i.e. top UN officials) Distinguished Sirs/Madams, “Onitsha-430003: Southeast-Nigeria : Our name is: International Society for Civil Liberties & the Rule of Law; abbreviated as INTERSOCIETY. We are registered rights based Civil Society Organization under the Laws of the Federation of Nigeria. “Our advocacy voice or thematic areas are: civil liberties and rule of law, democracy and good governance, and public security and safety. We are based in Onitsha, Anambra State, Southeast of Nigeria. “For easy of reference, we can be electronically visited or accessed through www.intersociety-ng.org. The purpose of this Open Letter to your highly respected personalities is to seek for freedom of detained Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) by name: Mr. Nnamdi Kanu. “This we respectfully seek through your informed voices, wise counselling and unbiased diplomatic interventions, to be appropriately and timely directed to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by name: Mr. Muhammadu Buhari. “Means through which Mr. Muhammadu Buhari can be reached or communicated are available at the diplomatic missions of your respective countries in Nigeria. “He has been detained without trial for a period of eleven (11) months or since 14th of October 2015. The circumstances under which he is held are unlawful, illegal, unconstitutional and an aberration to modern international human rights and justice norms. “Your highly respected personalities may recall that Mr. Nnamdi Kanu is the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and Director of a UK registered Radio Station by name Radio Biafra London (RBL). “The IPOB is registered at the United Nations as a body advocating for the indigenous rights of indigenous people located in the Southeast and then South- south parts of Nigeria. Both IPOB and RBL earned their recognition and registration on account of their nonviolence methods in accordance with the UN mandate or principles. “As your highly respected personalities are aware, under the UN System, Rights to Self Determination, Development and Identities are recognized and enshrined provided their proponents do not use or advocate for violence. READ ALSO: IPOB declares Friday world protest day, set to debut significant bird (photos) “Where violence is resorted to by their proponents leading to widespread violent conflict between their proponents and the host political territory, the conduct of such is strictly governed by the Laws of War or Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their Protocols. “The enshrinement of these rights is internationally done by way of Treaty Laws or International Conventions; which are legally binding on Member-States that are parties to them. “Regionally and globally, the Federal Republic of Nigeria has willingly acceded to these treaty laws and accepted to be bound by their provisions and obligations. Till date, Nigeria is a party to the UN’s Covenants on Civil Political Rights (ICCPR) and Economic, Social & Cultural Rights (ICESCR). “As a matter of fact, Nigeria ratified them in 1993. Nigeria is also a party to the African Charter on Human & Peoples Rights (ACHPR), which it ratified and domesticated in 1981. Several decided cases by Nigeria’s courts of competent records or jurisdictions have also upheld their admissibility and enforceability in the Nigerian Legal and Justice System. “In these three important treaty laws cited, rights to self determination, development and identities are fully enshrined. Nigeria’s assent to them is intact till date. READ ALSO: Human rights group accuses President Buhari of violations “Under the International Law and the UN system, Nigeria is also under inexcusable obligation to be bound by these treaty laws as well as the Principles and Purposes of the United Nations particularly in the areas of respect for human rights and its obligation in the maintenance of international peace and security. “Perpetration of regime atrocities particularly gross human rights abuses and reckless disregard to rule of law is the greatest threat to international peace and security.” You can read the full letter here. Meanwhile the Biafra agitation suffered a setback recently. The Delta state government publicly denied being a part of Biafra and has warned its agitators to stay clear off the state. The agitation for an independent Biafra state has risen with different protests and by members of separatist groups being organised in different parts of the country https://www.naij.com/972798-exclusive-writes-open-letter-british-pm-demanding-nnamdi-kanu-release.html

A country were Boko Haram suspects are released. A Country where herdsmen openly brandish AK 47's and kill people. But when someone like Kanu expresses his right to self determination, that's when the roll out the drums and look innocent Biafran protesters to shoot, torture and lock-up.

We are killed by Fulani herdsmen on our beds We are killed by Nigerian soldiers on our streets. I am sure you know the one , brave hearts will choose. As for your thirst for innocent blood, may you be satisfied. |

Na so so lie lie. See how Ipob lied on Radio Biafra London that they bought 10 Russia helicopters to sink the zoo.. And Igbos are jubilating and ambulating in exuberance.. Deceiving the poor youths.

victorvezx: Its not as simple as you think bro. The decision to seek self determination is a strong one. What you guys have not realised is this Biafra have never gotten this kind of attention even during the war. So you really think you are winning by killing unarmed Biafrans? Think again bro, something is going on at the moment that is beyond your control. Only your delusion has blinded you. |
