Description:
Amnesty International said the 45-day deadline given for releasing Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky expires on Monday. The rights group warned if the Nigerian government deliberately disregards the orders of its own courts, it will demonstrate a dangerous contempt of the rule of law. Amnesty also called Zakzaky’s imprisonment unlawful and said the move might be part of a larger plan by the Nigerian government to cover up the gruesome crimes committed by its forces in Zaria in December 20-15. At least 350 Shias were killed when Nigerian forces raided Zakzaky\'s house in Zaria. He and his wife have been in detention since then without charge.
