Dear President, Major Gen. Muhammadu Buhari,
Dear Attorney General of the Federation, Abubarka Malami
Nigerian authorities have unlawfully suspended access to Twitter for millions of Nigerians. They even directed Media houses to deactivate their Twitter accounts. Those actions are clear violations of the right to freedom of expression, access to information, and freedom of the press.
I call on you to ensure that access to Twitter is unimpeded and that no other restrictions are put in place to hinder access to any social media.
When in the streets, peaceful protesters are met with violent reprisal from the Nigerian authorities. Now their online voices have been silenced as well.
I urge you to guarantee the right to freedom of expression, access to information, and press freedom.
