A large number of American Muslims have held a demonstration in New York to condemn the Nigerian military’s massacre of Shia Muslims.

The demonstrators gathered in Midtown Manhattan near the Nigerian Mission to the United Nations and chanted slogans and carried placards condemning the Nigerian military’s oppression against Muslims.

Hundreds of Shia Muslims have been killed during the weekend after clashes erupted between the Nigerian army and Shia Muslims in the northern city of Zaria in Kaduna State.

The clashes broke out when Nigerian soldiers opened fire on the people attending a religious ceremony at HussainiyahBaqiyatullah, killing hundreds of Shia innocent civilians.
