Model Email
Subject: Urgent – Release Sheikh El-Zakaky and Mallimah Zeenah
Dear [insert the name of Ambassador / High Commissioner],
Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky and his wife Mallimah Zeenah continue to be detained on false pretences. I remain deeply concerned about their safety and security.
I demand the Nigerian authorities end this episode with the immediate and unconditional release of both the Sheikh and Mallima. I am also deeply concerned that hundreds of people have been similarly detained since the Zaria massacre in 2015, and many others have been arrested and detained for taking part in protests. These arrests and detentions appear to be persecution and I further demand all those detained are also release.
I look forward to your immediate response. This whole case has deeply tarnished the image of Nigeria in the world at a time when it was thought that Nigeria was transforming and leaving its past behind it.
Yours sincerely,
[Your name]
