The Islamic Human Rights Commission has been researching the deteriorating human rights situation in Nigeria, particularly over the last year. This report covers the specific period since the arrest of Mu’allim Ibrahim Yaqub Al-Zakzaky, the wellknown Muslim cleric and leader of Nigeria’s Islamic opposition, on 12 September 1996. It covers abuses levelled at the Islamic opposition in Nigeria, some of which has been documented, and some of which has been reported in international news media although often incorrectly.
