Over 1,000 #Endbadgovernance protesters in prison across Nigeria — Amnesty International

Amnesty International has declared that over 1,000 #Endbadgovernance protesters are in prison across Nigeria.

The organization in a post via X on Friday said; “Today 441 people were arraigned in Kano, in what is set out to be an unfair trial based on trumped-up charges.”

NewsWireNGR reports that the #Endbadgovernance protest was held from August 1-10.

Amnesty International in the tweet said; “The Nigerian authorities are escalating crackdown on peaceful protesters against hunger and corruption.

“Amnesty International again calls for an immediate and unconditional release of all those arrested for exercising their right to peaceful assembly. The government of Nigeria has an obligation to uphold the right to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly,” the post read.
