REMEMBRANCE DAY 30 MAY 2025

Ahead of 30 May Remembrance Day, Amnesty International will be highlighting gross human rights violations by Nigerian security forces across
the south east geo-political zone. Since 2015, the organization has been documenting ruthless extrajudicial executions, enforced disappearances and other human rights violations in the region.

The Nigerian security forces, led by the military embarked on a chilling campaign of extrajudicial executions and violence resulting in the deaths of at least 150 peaceful pro-Biafra protesters in the south east of the country, according to our investigation released on 24 November 2016.

By far the largest number of pro-Biafra activists were killed on Biafra Remembrance Day on 30 May 2016 when an estimated 1,000 IPOB and ers gathered for a rally in Onitsha, Anambra State. The night before the rally, the security forces raided homes and a church where IPOB were sleeping

On Remembrance Day itself, the security forces shot people in several locations. Amnesty International has not been able to the exact number of extrajudicial executions, but estimates that at least 60 people were killed and 70 injured

The right to PEACEFUL dissent must be respected at all times. The Nigerian security agencies must respect and uphold human rights ahead of and after Remembrance Day 30 May 2025

Unfortunately, Amnesty International does not operate on allegations, hear-say or rumours. They operate on facts and evidence. On their page, they have several video evidence and eyewitness testimony of the Nigerian security forces shooting killing unarmed Biafran protesters

But if you are asked for evidence that IPOB is violent, your own evidence will be allegations, hear-say, and rumour

But he was not terrorists when he was campaigning for betterment of Nigeria, just because he found out Nigeria is not repairable and championed freedom of his people,he become terrorists.

Just this month your Boko Haram have killed over 300 of your people and soldiers, but they are not Nigeria problem, only a Man with microphone is in Nigeria court because he's National problem.

Just like your soul is dead and gone.
As long as the injustice, marginalisation, hate, tribalism, oppression, etc, that generated it are still there, it will remain alive.

Yes, that's hear-say because your evidence is based on what you heard.

I might as well say that Fifty cents is a violent person because of the things he says on his records but that is no evidence

Who is crying? Why do you choose to be a unity beggar? Why can't you stand on your feet.

Gowons involvement in the Civil war was also hearsay then since he was never at the Warfront

The one that is definitely not hear-say are the numerous videos on Amnesty Internationals page of the Nigerian Army shooting and killing peaceful unarmed Biafran protesters

Celebrate whatever you want to celebrate without harming others or threatening them.

Amnesty International drags anyone that misbehaves.

If you say you are a military, don't behave like terrorists.

If you say your movement is peaceful, don't behave like terrorists too.

It’s important that we never forget what happened on May 30. So many lives were lost, and the struggle for justice and fair treatment continues. Amnesty International just released a statement about the planned Remembrance Day and the human rights issues in the South-East.



I just wrote a full article on this β€” including past reports, recent updates, and what we should expect this year. You can read it here:

It was hearsay according to your logic since there are no videos of Gowon or Awolowo killing anyone

That double standard hypocrisy stinks
Get rid of it
