In Nigeria, civilians have been extorted, raped, tortured, and killed by police officers from the Special Anti-Robbery Squad – SARS. Protests forced the Nigerian government to finally put an end to SARS. But it's not enough. Victims of these crimes are still waiting for justice. Take action now to end the impunity of SARS in Nigeria.
People across Nigeria and Nigerians living abroad are
standing together in protests calling for an end to the assault, torture,
extortion, and unlawful killings by SARS Officers. The Nigerian authorities
were forced to disband SARS. Now, protesters are demanding true police reforms
and the prosecution of SARS officers who have perpetrated human rights
violations.
SARS officers are infamous for unlawful killings, extortion
and torture. For years, human rights organizations and the media have documented
cases of extrajudicial killings, torture, and other ill-treatment committed by
SARS officers.
Survivors of SARS officers’ abuses have risked everything to
tell their stories and seek justice, while the loved ones of those who have
died do the same. The cases of brutality have prompted Nigerians to call for a
reform of police through protests and campaigns. It is time to finally end
impunity for police brutality and torture in Nigeria.
Join our members and supporters and demand an end to impunity
for police brutality in Nigeria.
Take action now and email President Muhammadu Buhari and Attorney General Abubakar Malami to demand the reform of the police in Nigeria and the prosecution of police officers accused of police brutality and violence.
