"The events in Nigeria, in which Christian communities have faced brutal terrorist actions perpetrated by radical sectors of the country’s Islamic communities, cannot continue. We all still remember the unspeakable attack on a church on Christmas Day last year, which was preceded by other similar attacks, which have unfortunately continued to take place. The adoption of Sharia law in areas of Nigeria has led to fears that these attacks will go on indefinitely if the federal government authorities do not take concrete measures to combat them. Fundamental principles are at stake here, in particular attacks on human dignity, on freedom of expression, assembly and association, and on the right to profess a religion. The EU cannot distance itself from this process, and must put pressure on the Nigerian Government to ensure basic rights for its citizens, and thus help to put an end to their repression."@en1
