Lirwana Abdourahmane (also known as Abdourahmane Lirwana) is a lawyer and civil society advocate from Niger involved in civic activism who represents individuals and groups engaged in protests and public demonstrations. He has been associated with the Mouvement Patriotique pour une Citoyenneté Responsable (MPCR), a Nigerien organization that promotes civic engagement.[1][2]
Abdourahmane has worked as a lawyer in Niger, where he has defended members of civil society groups facing legal charges related to public demonstrations and political activism. He has also been involved in organizing public events and discussions focused on government policies and citizen participation.
In 2018, Abdourahmane took part in protests against a new finance law introduced by the Nigerien government. Along with other civil society leaders, he opposed the law, arguing that it would have a negative impact on the population. The protests were part of a broader campaign led by civic groups calling for changes in economic and governance policies.[3]
