IHRC calls on all Muslims to pray for Sheikh Ibrahim el-Zakzaky, whose health is deteriorating in the midst of his long imprisonment.

IHRC is calling on everyone to ask for prayers for the Sheikh after Jumuah prayers this Friday 19 January 2018.

Zakzaky and his wife Mallima Zeenah have been held in detention by the Nigerian Security Services without charge and without access to medical treatment since December 2015, when the Nigerian military launched an attack on his residence and various sites of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria. This attack resulted in the deaths of a thousand members of the movement and a similar number of arrests and detentions.
