A human rights group says it has credible evidence of mass graves containing bodies of Shia Muslims recently martyred by the Nigerian army.
According to Press TV, Islamic Human Rights Commission says it has photographs and testimonies that prove the army has buried hundreds of bodies after attacking Shias in Zaria earlier this week.

The brutal raid left over one thousand people dead, and dozens missing including Leader of Nigeria’s Islamic Movement Sheikh Ebrahim Zakzaky.

The UK-based group called on the African Union and the United Nations to facilitate the release of all detainees, and suspend Nigeria’s membership.

Islamic Human Rights Commission also expressed concerns over rumors of a planned crackdown against Muslims in the Kano state on Friday.

It urged all international observers to be on watch for any acts of violence targeting Shia Muslims especially at Friday prayers.

Meanwhile, top Shia and Sunni clerics in Iraq have deplored the deadly raid launched by Nigerian forces against Head of the African country’s Islamic Movement, Sheikh Ibrahim al-Zakzaky.

Iraqi religious leaders say the attack was aimed at creating conflict between Muslims in Nigeria and other Islamic countries.
