The theme of the event is” Strengthening the Capacity of Magistrates on Recognizing the Contemporary Indices of Human Rights Violations/ Shrinkage of the Civic Space in their Courts.”

She stressed that magistrate courts are at the grassroots and are the nearest court to the masses.

This finding is presented in the Security Playbook of Digital Authoritarianism in Nigeria.
