The Geneva-based Institute for Human Rights (IHR) has expressed support for the BBC Africa Eye documentary that revealed the police killings of Generation Z protestors in June of last year, urging the government to conduct an investigation.
The BBC, an international news organization, aired the documentary exposing these killings that occurred on June 25, 2024, during the anti-Finance Bill 2024 protest.
David Koros, the President of IHR, described the killings depicted in the documentary as "a well-planned execution by state security forces." He remarked, "It is quite disturbing that the security forces were involved in the killing of innocent protestors.
We demand the immediate resignation of the Inspector General of Police, the Director of Criminal Investigations, and the Director General of the National Intelligence Service (NIS)." Koros also called for an independent inquiry into the killings and urged parliament to summon NIS Director Noordin Haji, the Inspector General, and the Director of Criminal Investigations to provide more information regarding the incidents.
