The Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom issued a statement condemning the unlawful \u200edetention of Nigerian Shi\u2019ah leader, Hujjat al-Islam Shaykh Ibrahim Zakzaky.\u200e<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
RNA \u2013 The Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom issued a statement condemning the \u200eillegal imprisonment of Nigerian Shi\u2019ah leader, Hujjat al-Islam Shaykh Ibrahim Zakzaky.\u200e<\/p>\n

Hujjat al-Islam Zakzaky, who is in his mid-sixties, has been under arrest since December \u200e\u200e2015, when his home in the town of Zaria was raided by Nigerian forces in a deadly \u200eincident during which he was beaten and lost his left eye.\u200e<\/p>\n

Three of his sons were killed, his wife sustained serious wounds and more than 300 of \u200ehis followers lost their lives.\u200e<\/p>\n

Members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) regularly take to the streets of \u200eAbuja and several other cities to call for the release of Hujjat al-Islam Zakzaky.\u200e<\/p>\n

Nigerian authorities have transferred him and his wife, Zinat, to a dilapidated prison, \u200ewhere many detainees have so far died due to lack of medical care.\u200e<\/p>\n

The text of the statement is as follows:\u200e<\/p>\n

In the Name of God, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful \u200e<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to some news reports, Shaykh Ibrahim Zakzaky has been transferred to \u200eanother prison despite the deterioration of his physical condition. While we express our \u200egrave concern over his health, we consider the responsibility for the delay in the \u200etreatment and treatment of Shaykh Zakzaky and his unlawful detention as the concern \u200eof the Nigerian government.\u200e<\/p>\n

It is necessary for the Nigerian government to provide this religious leader with the \u200enecessary medical and healthcare services by ending the current situation and removing \u200ethe illegitimate restrictions on this religious leader. It is not appropriate for a \u200egovernment that claims to be free and committed to the rights of its citizens to \u200epersecute anyone to such a degree who only wants good for the country and the \u200epeople of Nigeria.\u200e
\n\u200e \u200e
\nThe Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom calls on the government of the Islamic \u200eRepublic of Iran, in particular the Honorable Minister of Foreign Affairs [Mohammad-\u200eJavad Zarif], to address the situation of this compassionate scholar with all the \u200ediplomatic capacities of Iran, Islamic countries and the international community. The \u200eNigerian authorities must address the pessimism and oppressive limitations and \u200eimmediately address his physical condition and remove the limitations on him. \u200eUndoubtedly, the continuation of this illegal confrontation \u200ewhich took place in the form \u200eof a violent and defensive approach is not deserving of him and his companions.\u200e<\/p>\n

May the peace, mercy and blessings of God be with you,\u200e
