Iran warns Nigeria to release Shiite leader El-Zakzaky
The Iranian government says it has employed all her diplomatic channels
including warning the Nigerian government to release the leader of the
Shia Muslim group in Nigeria Sheikh Ibrahim al-Zakzaky. He was arrested
alongside other members of his group following a clash with the Nigerian
army in Zaria, Kaduna state on Saturday December 12th. Over 60 people
died in the fracas.
"We have used all those channels to warn them [Nigeria] regarding this
issue. So hopefully the government... would adopt wise action given the
sensitive situation," Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hoseyn Jaberi-Ansari
told reporters in the capital, Tehran today January 4th.
