Protest Repression in Nigeria!

Activists Facing Death Penalty

The trial of eleven #EndBadGovernance activists on trumped-up treason charges is set to start on November 8th. If convicted, they are facing the death penalty. The Nigerian government is targeting them for protesting against starvation policies. The left and trade-union movement must take urgent action in their defense.

Drop the charges now! Release all arrested protesters!
