Why this petition matters

Started by Policy Alert

The Human Rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong has been sentenced to one-month imprisonment for alleged contempt of court by the Chief Judge of Akwa Ibom State, Justice Ekaette Obot, without giving the lawyer a fair hearing. 

The detained activist has been an intrepid voice against human rights violations by state actors and the circumstances of the case and his incarceration point to an agenda against human rights defenders.

We are calling on you to sign this petition with us to demand the release of Inibehe Effiong Esq who has been unlawfully detained.  Nigeria's judiciary should be the last hope of the common, rather than the instrument for intimidation and erosion of civic space that it is fast becoming.
