Nigeria Urgent appeal sent on 4 September 2007 jointly with the Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions and the Special Rapporteur on the right to education 190. The Special Rapporteurs brought to the attention of the Government information they had received regarding the persecution of members of the Shia community in the Nigerian state of Sokoto. According to information received, on 18 July 2007, Mr. Umar Danmashiyya, a Sunni cleric was shot while he was leaving his local mosque. The Shia community, which is a minority in the Nigerian state of Sokoto, has been collectively blamed for the killing of the Sunni cleric. Shia groups were attacked in residential areas by mobs carrying machetes. As of 21 August 2007, more than 70 homes have been destroyed, six Shia members have been murdered and more than 50 women and children are missing. Furthermore, the community’s centre, clinic and schools were also destroyed. Subsequent to street fights, the police arrested and detained 115 members of the Shia community, including its leader Mr. Kasimu Rimin Tawaye. Allegedly, those acts were carried out by a combined force of federal military, state police and mobs under police protection, which use this assassination to discriminate against the Shia community of Sokoto.
