International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety) has commended the five Senators of the United States (US): Josh Hawley, Mike Braun, Tom Cotton, Marco Rubio, James Inhofe, and others for their ongoing international pressure and campaign in aid of persecuted Christians and minority others in Nigeria or any part thereof.
In volume 2 of Intersociety’s International Report dated July 4, 2022 and signed by its International Principal Officers, Emeka Umeagbalasi, Board Chairman; Chinwe Umeche Esquire, Head, Democracy and Good Governance; Obianuju Joy Igboeli Esquire, Head, Civil Liberties and Rule of Law; Chidimma Udegbunam Esquire, Head, Campaign and Publicity; Ndidiamaka Bernard Esquire, Head, Int’l Justice and Human Rights; and Samuel Kamanyaoku, Head, Field Data Collection and Documentation, the group also expressed delight and appreciation for the ‘powerful letter’ dated June 29, 2022 written by the US Senators to the US Secretary of State, the Honorable Antony, Blinken.
“We at the Int’l Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety), Nigeria’s leading research and investigative Rights and Democracy organization since 2008 are deeply joyous, grateful and thankful to the respected US Senators.
“We are particularly appreciative of their ongoing international pressure and campaign in aid of persecuted Christians and minority others in Nigeria or any part thereof.
“These historic international moves of theirs have also elevated them to enviable status of “Amicus Curiae for persecuted Christians and Minority others in Nigeria,” geared towards ending chronic and pandemic violence against Christians in the country.
“Particularly gladdening and gratifying was the respected US Senators’ 29th June, 2022 powerful letter to US Secretary of State, the Honorable Antony Blinken. The joint letter, signed by Senators Josh Hawley, Mike Braun, Tom Cotton, Marco Rubio and James Inhofe, was on account of the US Government’s indifference over the horrific acts of violence against defenseless Christians and their sacred places of worship or learning by the country’s congregated and aggregated Islamic Jihadists; and failure, inability and unwillingness of the present central government of Nigeria to effectively checkmate or put a stop to same.
“We also thank in a special way, the similar efforts by the Heroine of the UK House of Lords, Madam Caroline Cox and Lord David Alton of Liverpool and concerned others, as well as dogged efforts of the Religious Freedom Institute in Washington DC, the Nigerian Americans in Washington, DC, the US Congress Nigeria Caucus and the Southern Kaduna Peoples Union (SOKAPU).
Intersociety also urged them as well as others who have shown concern in one way or the other to remain resilient and unyielding until the crime is abated and the perpetrators brought to book.
“We prayerfully urge them to remain resilient and unyielding until the armadas of butchery against Nigerian Christians are brought to end and the perpetrators punitively sanctioned locally and internationally,” the group said.
