I thank everyone involved in the resolution on Yahaya that the European Parliament adopted earlier this year. Please keep up the pressure.

He remains in prison awaiting the Supreme Court appeal. His case is far from an isolated incident. The persecution of minority religion adherents, including Christians and minority Muslims, in Nigeria is especially severe. In 2022, approximately 90% of all Christians worldwide who were killed for their faith were in Nigeria.\u00a0<\/p><p>\u201cThe importance of Yahaya Sharif-Aminu\u2019s case cannot be overestimated.
