The Epoch Times Experts say statute used to silence free speech in Nigeria; reporter says he fears his life is in danger
Embattled Epoch Times reporter Luka Binniyat was charged with cyberstalking the head of Kaduna State Security Tuesday at his arraignment at the Barnawa Magistrate’s Court in Kaduna Nigeria. Human rights advocates say that cyberstalking is a charge often used in Nigeria to silence the press.
Mr. Samuel Aruwan, Kaduna State’s Commissioner of State Security filed a criminal complaint against Binniyat that prompted his arrest last Thursday. Aruwan told a press conference Monday that Binniyat’s report of Oct 29 in The Epoch Times was evidence of inciting violence and had endangered him personally.
