NIGERIA: Army implicated in the massacre of 350 Shiites Amnesty International


A report by Amnesty International on Friday accused the Nigerian military of deliberately slaughtered 350 Muslims from the Shiite minority end of 2015.

According to the NGOs , their bodies were then buried in mass graves and evidence of this carnage destroyed.

In the same report, Amnesty provides satellite images showing the location of a "grave as possible" in the Manda area, near the state capital of Kaduna, about 80 kilometers from Zaria.
The Nigerian army has provided no evidence feeding his allegations that the protesters of IMN (Islamic Movement of Nigeria, ed) have attempted to assassinate the Chief of Staff of the Army, says Amnesty, before said that the Nigerian military has burned brightly several people, razed buildings and dumped the bodies into mass graves.
End of 2015, clashes occurred in Zaria in the north. Members of an Islamic Shiite movement, supporters of the establishment of an Iranian plan, in Kaduna State, had blocked the convoy of the Chief of Staff of the Armed causing brutal repression of soldiers .
The spokesman of the Nigerian armed forces called "unfair" that Amnesty International and complained that the army had not been consulted before publication.
Although President Muhammadu Buhari's commitment to investigate possible war crimes, "to date, no concrete action was taken to end the impunity for such crimes," Amnesty further regrets.
