The International Association of World Peace Advocates (IAWPA) in collaboration with the Civil Society Coalition, condemns in the strongest terms the recent assault on Ambassador Christian Isaac by agents of the Rivers State Waste Management Agency (RIWAMA). This incident not only raises serious concerns about the safety and security of public officials but also highlights a troubling pattern of violence against advocates of peace and civil rights.
Ambassador Isaac, a respected figure and advocate for peace, was reportedly accosted and assaulted while engaging in his duties. Such acts of aggression are unacceptable and undermine the fundamental principles of peace, justice, and human rights that both the IAWPA and the Civil Society Coalition strive to uphold.
The IAWPA calls on the Rivers State government to take immediate action to investigate this incident thoroughly and hold those responsible accountable. We urge for the development of training programs on the importance of human rights and de-escalation techniques for agents of government agencies to prevent future occurrences.
IAWPA and Civil Society also say they stand in solidarity with Ambassador Isaac and all advocates of peace who face intimidation and violence in their quest for a peaceful society. Our coalition reiterates its commitment to promoting dialogue, accountability, and justice in all spheres of society.
The International Association of World Peace Advocates is a global network of individuals and organizations committed to promoting peace, justice, and human rights worldwide.
The Civil Society Coalition comprises various organizations advocating for the rights of citizens and the promotion of peaceful coexistence.
Signed,
