At least 13 young children have been detained for two weeks so far by the Jos state government in Nigeria's northern region since a recent ban on activities of minority Muslims of the Shia ideology. Held since Wednesday the 12th of October, 2016 the kids were charged for "disturbance of public peace."
These minors seen in various pictures being held in cells have since been denied bail as against the stipulations of the Nigerian constitution and the international laws on the rights to justice and global regulations on the protection of minorities as laid down in the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
