BREAKING: Kanu’s American Lawyer Seeks Suspension Of Nigeria From UN General Assembly For Failing To Release, Compensate IPOB LeaderThe Working Group on arbitrary detention is under the United Nations Commission on Human Rights .Bruce Fein, the United States-based counsel for Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra has again written to the International Working Group over the continued incarceration of the separatist.
He said it is against international law for a nation to kidnap, torture, and then subject a citizen to an extraordinary rendition to a different nation while travelling. “Since the Opinion was issued three months ago, the Government has steadfastly refused to release Mr. Kanu from his indefinite arbitrary detention in solitary confinement without access to necessary and urgent medical care. Further, in violation of paragraph 110, the Government snubbed the Working Group’s request to disseminate the Opinion through “all available means as widely as possible.”
