Saying that the proscription of the IMN was an error, the senior cleric said:
“the proscription portrays us as a country where government can wake up one day, get a court order from nowhere that particular religious group is proscribed.
“If we allow that to go, it means Catholics and my own religion too can be proscribed any day by any government who manages to get any judge to issue an ex-parte or non-ex-parte order.”
He insisted that Shiites have the right to protest the continued incarceration of their leader, Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, adding that if he (Onaiyekan) is detained unjustly, it would be difficult to prevent Catholic faithful from protesting against his incarceration.
