SHAFAQNA– Followers of the Nigerian Shia scholar Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky continue holding daily rallies, calling for the release of their leader.
Members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria march on daily basis in the capital Abuja. The peaceful demonstrations are staged under the hashtag #FreeZakzaky and despite the warnings by the security apparatus against Shia Nigerians.
The ralliers want immediate and unconditional release of Sheikh Zakzaky and his wife Malama Zeenah who are in custody since the 2015 army’s massacre in the northern city of Zaria that killed hundreds of IMN members.
