"I speak on behalf of the families of the 21 coal miners at Iva Valley, Enugu, who were shot in cold blood by British colonial police for demanding improvement in their working conditions. These coal miners were not armed. They were not engaged in an insurrection or rebellion. They were simply protesting, a peaceful protest. They did not provoke the police in any manner. They were shot in cold blood, and 21 of them were killed on the spot. Several others were injured [...]. The case is about the right to life. Life-taking without due process, without judicial process. That is called extrajudicial killing. The court has found that this incident happened and that there has been no accountability. No one has been held accountable, despite an inquiry by the colonial administration. But the report was swept under the ground [...]. Nobody was prosecuted, nobody was," Professor Akinseye-George said.
