Recently, Amnesty International and former Minister Obiageli Ezekwesili voiced strong opposition to the Nigerian government’s decision to try minors on treason charges. These young people reportedly took part in protests, which led to their detainment, sparking outcry over alleged human rights violations. Amnesty and Ezekwesili are calling for their immediate release, arguing that children should be protected, not prosecuted for peaceful protest.
Do you think the government’s actions are justified? Should the legal system intervene to protect these minors? What's Your View?
