	answer text	<p>Civil Society around the world and in Nigeria plays a vital role in promoting the principles of democracy, gender equality and human rights. For democracies to thrive it is important that human rights organisations are able to act as both an enabler and challenger, holding governments to account, without fear of reprisal. In doing so they must act based on evidence and without prejudice.</p><p>We regularly stress to the Nigerian authorities the importance of protecting civilians and upholding human rights. Any member of the Nigerian security forces found to have been involved in human rights abuses should be brought to justice. We welcome commitments made by President Buhari and leaders of Nigerian Security Forces that they will investigate allegations of human rights violations by the Nigerian military and take appropriate action.</p>
