News just filtering in confirms that pro-Biafra protesters on Thursday protested in front of the European Parliament in Brussels, Belgium, demanding the immediate and unconditional release of detained Director of Radio Biafra and leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
The European Parliament, which is the legislative arm of the European Union, works from three centres: Brussels (Belgium), Luxembourg (Luxembourg) and Strasbourg (France).
The protesters, numbering in their dozens, could be seen wielding Biafran flags and chanting solidarity songs.
Kanu, who holds Nigerian/British citizenship, was arrested in October 2015 on charges bordering on membership of an illegal organisation, which has since been upgraded to treason.
Thousands of protesters from the South East and South South geo-political zones have at different times engaged in protests and other forms of civil disobedience aimed at forcing the Federal Government of Nigeria to release Kanu.
