Staff at the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) have expressed their solidarity with IDS alumni who are participating in peaceful protests against police brutality in Lagos, Nigeria.
Professor Melissa Leach, Director, Institute of Development Studies, said: “We share the outrage expressed globally at the violence shown towards those protesting about excessive state force in Nigeria. It is unconscionable that peaceful demonstrators, including many young people, who are calling for an end to police brutality have seen the most extreme response.
“At IDS, we believe in justice and equality for all, standing in solidarity with those globally who challenge injustices.”
