The United Kingdom Parliament has started the deliberations on the petition seeking to sanction the federal government for human rights abuses over the End SARS protests.
It was reported that the United Kingdom Parliament has confirmed it will consider a petition seeking to sanction the federal government for human rights abuses over the #EndSARS protests.
