Dear Sir or Madam

On behalf of the Niger Delta Congress, we wish to bring to your notice the continued arrest, detention, psychological torture and denial of bail to Chief Bassey Ekpo Bassey a member of our organization based in Calabar, Cross River State , Nigeria.

To the best of our knowledge, Chief Bassey has not been convicted of any offence. He is being held for his political beliefs and activism.

We would be grateful if you could join us in appealing to the Nigerian Government to see that justice is done and Chief Bassey released.
