Rally to Defend Nigerian Protesters Facing Death Penalty

8 Nov 2024 - 5:30pm to 6:30pm

The left and trade-union movement must take action in defence of Nigerian activists. Nearly 2,500 people were arrested in August for participating in #EndBadGovernance protests against the starvation policies of the Bola Tinubu government. More than 40 were shot dead by security forces, and many of those arrested still languish in jail. Ominously, eleven face the death penalty on trumped-up treason charges.Their trial is set to start 8 November. Drop the charges now! Release all arrested protesters!
