Nigeria: NGOs
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Howell of Guildford on 25 November (WA 385–6), when they will hold a follow-up to the 2009 round table meeting with Nigerian stakeholders and non-governmental organisations working to defend the rights of children accused of witchcraft in the Niger Delta.
- Answer
-
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office plans to hold a round-table meeting in early 2011 with organisations, including some from Nigeria, working to defend the rights of children accused of witchcraft in the Niger Delta, a practice which we condemn. In the mean time, we will continue to work with key stakeholders and to press the Nigerian authorities to address the issue.
