Urge the Nigerian government to protect Nigerian Christians

Urge the Nigerian government to protect Nigerian Christians — 421 signatures. Status: closed.

Petition background

We call on the UK Government to strongly urge the Nigerian authorities to protect Christian communities facing violence. It’s been reported that over 7,000 Christians were killed in Nigeria this year.

Additional details

We believe silence is complicity. As a nation that champions religious freedom and human rights, we feel the UK cannot ignore any suffering of Nigerian Christians. We urge Parliament to raise this issue with urgency, support any international investigations, and ensure that aid and trade with Nigeria are contingent on meaningful protections for vulnerable faith communities.
