AhlulBayt News Agency - You can views how Kaduna State Government, like ISIS militants, demolished the grave yards of the Islamic Movement's Martyrs.
Photographs have emerged showing the site of desecrated graves belonging to victims of last year’s Al-Quds Day massacre in which soldiers opened fire on a peaceful procession organised by the Islamic Movement of Nigeria.
The pictures show smashed gravestones at the burial site and the graves disinterred, consistent with reports that the army deliberately destroyed them in its recent attack on the Islamic Movement.
‘The evidence is now very clear that graves have been destroyed and desecrated which raises question marks over the army’s claims that it was acting in self-defence. This is a deliberate act of destruction aimed at punishing the Islamic Movement by smashing up the graves of its members. This level of barbarism is expected of extreme terrorist groups like Daesh, not the armed forces of a supposedly democratic country,’ the IHRC’s chairman Masoud Shadjareh said.
Soldiers attacked the movement and its symbols in a 27-hour orgy of violence in Zaria last month, shooting and arresting its leader Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky and his wife. Their whereabouts remain unknown.
Photographic evidence suggests that the sheikh has been tortured. There are also fears that the pair, along with other supporters of the movement who are also being held without charge, are being denied urgent medical treatment.
During the unprovoked army assault, the leaders and institutions of the Islamic Movement were targeted. Sheikh Zakzaky’s personal residence in Zaria was destroyed, as was the Hussainiyyah Baqiyatullah which served as the movement’s centre. The army also destroyed the home housing the tomb of Sheikh Zakzaky’s mother.
Islamic Human Rights Commission called on the Nigerian government to put an immediate stop this barbarism by its armed forces and allow access to all those detained in the army rampage so that their condition and needs can be established.
