Black people across the world are taking a stand against unjust acts of police brutality. The @TheBlackCaucus stands in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in #Nigeria protesting police brutality. #BlackLivesMatter #EndSARS #EndSarsNow
SARS?
No, not the deadly disease, but Nigeria’s Special Anti-Robbery Squad, a police unit said to be at the center of the police brutality in that country that has already claimed 10 lives.
"The excessive use of force by the police in response to the protests reveals the longstanding disregard for the right to life by Nigerian security forces," Amnesty International told CNN.
"Amnesty International therefore calls for an urgent review of the use of force and firearms by police officers against protesters and thorough, independent and impartial investigation into all cases of violence including deaths that occurred during the #EndSARS protests," Seun Bakare, head of programs at Amnesty International Nigeria (CNN)
