The International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety) has urged Nigerians to keep up the fight against injustice.

It gave the charge in a press statement issued in Onitsha, Eastern Nigeria, on Wednesday, January 26, 2022.

The group insisted that “Nigeria and the global society must be a place where human rights, rule of law and societal decency and orderliness are the common feature and practice at all times.”

Calling on Nigerians to join hands to put an end to all forms of injustice, Intersociety stated: “All the apostles and disciples of justice in Nigeria including You and alongside the slain, injured, tortured, abducted, disappeared and property victims; are all victims of the State Crimes and Abuse of Power. Therefore, Together With You in this 2022, we must keep fighting to free people who are unlawfully detained, those wrongfully jailed and people who are unjustly imprisoned. We must join hands in putting to an end all forms of torture, arbitrary arrests and detention without trials, atrocious abductions and involuntary disappearances, unlawful killings, unlawful executions and extra legal, extra jus and extra judicial killings. Together With You, we must join hands to end state security actors’ burning of civilian homes and sacred places of worship and livelihoods as well as other forms of property violence or crimes against property.”

In appreciation of the roles played by the media, individuals, corporate bodies, social media followers and volunteers, Intersociety has this to say: “Intersociety Team/Family thank especially the Media (the print, online/blogs and audio-visual) for their priceless efforts by publishing our research and investigative works without mandatory price tag. Not forgotten are highly respected and private persons or bodies that periodically and voluntarily call us to thank us for jobs well done and among them are those that periodically donate their widow’s mite in support of our advocacy works. Thankfully remembered are our social media friends, volunteers and followers numbering hundreds of thousands, if not millions who celebrate and widely our works. Let us jointly keep up the fight in 2022!”
