The group reiterated its commitment to upholding human rights standards and ensuring accountability for perpetrators.
Amnesty International on Wednesday hailed the ruling of the ECOWAS Court, which ordered the Federal Government to conduct a fresh investigation into rights violations that occurred during the October 2020 #EndSARS protests across Nigeria.
“In response to applicants’ Catherine Udeh & Ors case against the harassment and brutality of the notorious and disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad the ECOWAS Court of Justice delivered its judgment today finding violations of the applicants’ right to liberty and security, freedom of expression and association, right to freedom of assembly and effective remedy.
The #EndSARS protest erupted in numerous Nigerian cities in October 2020. At the Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos State, where it was most pronounced, security forces shot at peaceful protesters.
