Margaret Owen @ElectionMargie, British Human Rights Attorney, Energizes Call to #FreeNnamdiKanu
On my mind the deeply distressing plight of 56 year-old British citizen Nnamdi Okwu-Kanu, the IPOB ( Indigenous People of Biafra) leader, who in 2021 was a victim of extraordinary rendition from Kenya by the Nigerian authorities. His unlawful unjust incarceration is causing extreme distress to his wife Uche @OkwukKanu, and his two young sons. They are all British citizens living here, but so far the UK government is doing nothing to obtain his release and have him returned to this country where he has his home.
Kanu argued for self-détermination for Biafrans, for freedom of his people, and for peace. A call has gone out to Amnesty International to adopt him as a « Prisoner of Conscience », as this would strengthen our appeal to our new Labour government, now headed by human rights lawyers, Starmer, Lammy and Kermer .
Blindfolded, he was tortured for 8 days with grave consequences to his health and is now detained in the Abuja prison, denied urgently needed medicines and cardiac surgery.
We all remember the long struggle of Richard Ratcliffe to get his wife Nazanine released from prison in Iran. It took 6 years. But Nnamdi Kanu has not got such time, given the serious state of his heart, and other problems resulting from the torture.
In the end Richard pitched his tent outside the FCDO and began a hunger strike that lasted 21 days, when I and hundreds of other women joined his hunger strike, and amidst such an outcry Nazanine eventually was reunited with her husband and little daughter. But since her release they are both committed to helping other families whose loved ones are unlawfully detained in foreign prisons, and I am so grateful for his advice about what I can do now to help Uche get her husband home.
I was alerted to this case by that superb human rights barrister, Jonathan Cooper, who had been campaigning for Kanu’s freedom since the rendition, but died very suddenly in the autumn of 2021. It was whilst we were swimming in a choppy sea in Devon that he told me Kanu’s story. Following Johnny’sUntimely death I decided I must continue his mission.
Even the Nigerian courts have held his rendition and imprisonment unlawful.
Please, my dear readers, google Kanu’s name for the full story. Write to your MPs. Support his brave wife and bring comfort to his little children. I hope I will not have to set up camp outside the FCDO, following Richard’s example, as winter approaches, but I am ready to do just that if there is no progress.
We all look to the government to protect us from human rights abuses. But it is now failing Nnamdi Kanu as it once failed Nazanine Ratcliffe.
