CDHR Remembers Beko Ransome-Kuti, Calls For Unity Against Democratic Tyranny

 

The Committee for the Defence of Human Rights, CDHR, Thursday, remembered Dr Beko Ransome-Kuti who died on February 10, 2006 at the age of 65.

Dr Beko, a Nigerian medical doctor, was a foremost human rights activist who was a thorn in the flesh of military and civilian ruling class for many years.

In a well attended event themed “16 Years After Beko And The Struggle For An Oppressed Free Nigeria,” various speakers, who spoke on insecurity, Police brutality, labour protest, unstable democracy and 2023 as sub themes, extolled the intrinsic worth of the late activist who was CDHR first national president and lived his entire life fighting for a better Nigeria.

In his welcome address, the chairman, Lagos State branch of CDHR, Comrade Kehinde Adeoye, described the annual memorial theme as “ Very timely and appropriate.”

He noted that 16 years after Beko’s death, nothing has changed in the country adding that what currently defines the landscape are “ Insecurity, Police brutality against innocent citizens, labour protests, students’ unrest, ASUU strike and unstable democracy.”

Comrade Adeoye called on CDHR Comrades including the National Association of Online Security Reporters, NAOSRE and other journalists to unite and continue the fight against democratic tyranny “Until Nigeria becomes totally free from all forms of human rights violation.”

On his part, the national secretary, Comrade Yinka Folarin reminded the distinguished audience of the prevailing problems in the country and requested for redoubled efforts to chase away anti democratic elements

“Who is safe in Nigeria? There are huge problems. The problems are no longer about North East. Lagos-Ibadan road is no longer safe and Buhari does not have any solution,” he lamented.

As a remedy, Folarin called on all activists to immediately embark on radical voters’ sensitization in their respective enclaves to avoid wrong choice in the 2023 general elections.

The chairman of the occasion and CDHR past President , Comrade Malachy Ugwummadu admonished fellow comrades to be disciplined and methodical in the face of molestations and other forms of challenges.

He challenged comrades to learn how to gather information and evidence at any unsavoury scene so that whenever issues arise, there would be enough evidence to fight against injustice.

He noted that Beko’s spirit was inspiring, resolute and sacrificial and urged members to be disciplined as worthy ambassadors of the association.

“We must be disciplined in character and avoid dubiousness so that we can attract people to our struggle,” he advised.

Why Two-year-old Boy Was Sentenced To Life Imprisonment

It claimed the two-year-old and his entire family were locked up for their religious beliefs.

 

Several other cases of North Koreans being killed for being Christian were also included in the report, including the firing squad execution of a woman and her grandchild in 2011.

 

Other believers faced “pigeon torture”, where they were suspended with their hands tied behind their backs, unable to sit or stand for days on end.

 

Some were tortured with sleep deprivation including one woman in solitary confinement who was driven to suicide in 2020 after prison guards refused to let her sleep.

 

According to report, as many as 70,000 Christians have been imprisoned for their faith under the Kim Jong-un regime, out of a possible population of 400,000.

The new publication said several North Korean Christians hid their faith from their children.

It cited the finding of one NGO, Open Doors USA (ODUSA), which said: “A Christian is never safe.

“Children are encouraged to tell their teachers about any sign of faith in their parents’ home.”

Another NGO, Korea Future, said children were taught in school about the “evil deeds” of Christian missionaries, including “ rape, blood-sucking, organ harvesting, murder, and espionage”
