International human rights organizations, the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and the World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT), have expressed serious concern regarding alleged harassment targeting the Nigerian organization Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP). The Observatory for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders, a joint initiative of FIDH and OMCT, issued an urgent appeal on June 23rd detailing the ongoing intimidation and judicial harassment. The groups allege a pattern of actions designed to stifle SERAP’s work as a leading advocate for socio-economic rights and accountability in Nigeria. Details of the specific harassment were not provided in the initial report. The Observatory is calling for immediate protection of SERAP’s staff and a cessation of the alleged intimidation tactics. This appeal highlights growing concerns about the environment for human rights defenders operating within Nigeria.
