In its 2022 World Report, which reviewed human rights trends and developments in more than 100 countries, the international non-governmental organisation said the ban on Twitter in June 2021 was indicative of worsening human rights issues in the most populous black nation.
The ban followed the deleting of a controversial tweet from President Muhammadu Buhari by the microblogging site. The suspension was eventually lifted seven months later.
But in its 752-page report, the 32nd edition of its World Report launched on Monday, HRW said the embargo was a sign of human rights repression in the country.
