Shi’ites women demand El-Zakzaky’s release

Members of the Sisters Forum of Islamic Movement in Nigeria (SFIMN), the women’s wing of the Shi’ites group, yesterday embarked on a peaceful protest within Kaduna Central Market to demand the unconditional release of their leader, Sheik Ibraheem El-Zakzaky.

Addressing journalists, the leader of the protesters, Malama Lubabatu Alhassan, called on well-meaning Nigerians to join them to stand against the misuse of power against ‘unarmed’ citizens by the government. She said: “The indiscriminate and extra-judicial killing of unarmed civilians by the Army called for widespread condemnation from within and outside Nigeria and a call for in-depth investigation into the worse crime against humanity ever in the history of the country.’’
