Human rights groups, lawyers, and advocates have called for the enforcement of the Anti-Torture Law of Nigeria (2017), a law which prohibits torture, cruel and inhumane treatment of individuals.
The call was made in Lagos on Thursday at a roundtable meeting on ‘Ending Severe Human Rights Violations in Nigeria,’ which was organised by Avocats Sans Frontieres France (Lawyers Without Borders), a French international organisation.
Project Description
Premium Times conceived and is implementing this project to enable it to build and populate a dashboard that will serve as a resource hub for the ongoing inquiries on police brutality across the country.
The project will also enable Premium Times to deliver a comprehensive, data-driven and analytical coverage of the proceedings of the panels across the country. We believe that this kind of digital platform will effectively hold the government accountable to its promises while documenting for citizens, researchers and governments the ongoing effort to reform the police and other law enforcement agencies in ways that make them operate efficiently and with consistent respect for human rights.
