Amnesty International Calls for Immediate Halt to Sowore’s Persecution

Amnesty International has urged Nigerian officials to immediately halt the ongoing campaign of harassment, intimidation, and legal persecution targeting activist and publisher Omoyele Sowore. The organization condemned the persistent prosecution of Sowore on charges related to terrorism and financial misconduct, describing it as unjust and politically motivated. In their recent statement, Amnesty emphasized the need for respect for human rights and the protection of freedom of expression in Nigeria.

This call to action highlights growing concerns over the treatment of dissenting voices in Nigeria, where activists frequently face legal challenges that critics argue are designed to silence opposition. Sowore’s case has become emblematic of broader issues surrounding civil liberties and government accountability in the country.
