The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) is an Islamic human rights organization based in Nigeria. Founded in October 1993 by Professor Ishaq Lakin Akintola, MURIC is dedicated to advocating for the rights of Muslims and promoting justice and fairness in society. The organization is known for its peaceful and law-abiding approach, with a motto of "Dialogue, Not Violence".
MURIC frequently addresses issues affecting Muslims in Nigeria, including religious discrimination, human rights abuses, and social justice. The organization often releases statements and engages in public discourse to highlight and address these concerns. MURIC has been involved in various campaigns and initiatives aimed at promoting religious tolerance and understanding.
In recent times, MURIC has voiced its opposition to policies and actions it perceives as discriminatory or unjust towards Muslims. For example, the organization has called out government agencies and officials for actions that it believes infringe on the rights of Muslims, such as the denial of services to individuals wearing hijabs. MURIC continues to play a significant role in advocating for the rights and interests of the Muslim community in Nigeria.
