Alwaght- Protests have been held all over the world to condemn Nigerian military’s bloody crackdown on the Shiite Muslim community in the African country.
In Iran people took to the streets the Friday Prayers all over the country to show support for the Shiite Muslims in Nigeria.
The protesters chanted slogans and carried placards in condemnation of the international community’s silence on the massacring of the oppressed Nigerian Muslims.
Tehran’s Friday Prayers leader condemned the recent bloody terrorist attacks against Shiite Muslims in Nigeria and said the Nigerian government is playing into the hands of the Israeli regime and Takfiri groups.
Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami added that the horrendous crime that the Nigerian army committed was beyond description. He dismissed as a “lie” the Nigerian government’s claim that Muslims had blocked the army’s convoy.
In Pakistan over 100 cities protests and rallies were organized by Majlis-e-Wahdat-e-Meen (MWM), Shia Ulema Council (SUC) Imamia Students Organization(ISO), Asgharia Students Organization (ASO) Jafria Students Organization (JSO) and other regional organizations against the killing of Nigerian Shiite Muslims.
In India Muslims in several cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Kashmir, Lucknow and Chennai organized demonstrations against the government of the West African country Nigeria for the massacre of over 1000 Shiites last weekend and illegal detention of Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky, the country’s top Shiite scholar and founder of Islamic Movement in Nigeria.
Protests were also held in several Iraqi cities, Bahrain and Thailand in solidarity with Shiites in Nigeria.
On December 12 that more than a dozen people were killed after clashes erupted between the Nigerian army and Shiite Muslims in the northern city of Zaria in Kaduna State.
The clashes broke out when Nigerian troops opened fire on the people attending a religious ceremony at Hussainiyyah Baqeeyatullah, a religious center belonging to the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN). The Nigerian military claimed the Shiites were trying to stop the passing convoy of Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Tukur Yusuf Buratai.
The military accused the Shiites of attempting to assassinate Buratai - a charge Ibrahim al-Zakzaky, the IMN leader, denied at the time.
One day later, Sheikh Zakzaky was arrested during a raid by the army on his residence and the buildings connected to the Shiite community in Zaria. Local sources say over 1,000 people were killed by the army while trying to protect the Islamic movement leader.
The London based Islamic Human Rights Commission says it has credible evidence of the existence of mass graves containing bodies of Shiite Muslims recently killed by the Nigerian army.
