A British rights group has expressed concern over the situation in Nigeria. This comes in the wake of the Zaria massacre in December 2015 that left hundreds of members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria dead at the hands of the country’s army. With the movement’s leader Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky still detained without charge, the leading British rights group is demanding the international community break its silence on the issue ahead of an inquiry into the massacre.
