Descripción


According to Amnesty International: "Abdulahi Zachari, a 20-year-old farmer, and his brother were detained for three weeks at the SARS station in Abuja in November 2015 after being accused of robbery. Abdulahi Zachari told Amnesty International that he was tortured and forced to “confess” that he was a robber. He said he was repeatedly beaten by police officers. He said that at about 7-8pm the police would call out names of detainees, who were then taken out and tortured. On two occasions, he was taken out with his brother and tortured by a police officer. “They asked us to lie down and were hitting us with rods all over our bodies. They were telling us to admit that we were armed robbers. We kept on denying it,” he said. After three weeks, Abdulahi Zachari was released without charge and spent a week in hospital recovering from his injuries. He did not have a lawyer and did not make a formal complaint because he feared reprisal from SARS." [+]
