Amnesty international has reacted to the seven-count charge of treasonable felony and money laundering against detained activist and Convener of #RevolutionNow protest, Omoyele Sowore by the Federal Government.

Sowore, a presidential candidate in the February 2019 presidential election was charged along with Olawale Bakare, also known as Mandate.

The charges were signed on behalf of t‎he Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), by Aminu Alilu, a Chief State Counsel in the Department of Public Prosecutions of the Federation‎, the Federal Ministry of Justice.

In the charges instituted against the defendants, the prosecution accused Sowore and his co-defendant of committing conspiracy to commit treasonable felony in breach of section 516 of the Criminal Code Act by allegedly staging “a revolution campaign on September 5, 2019 aimed at removing the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

The prosecution also accused them of committing the actual offence of reasonable felony in breach of section, 4(1)(c) of the Criminal Code Act, by using the platform of Coalition for Revolution, in August 2019 in Abuja, Lagos and other parts of Nigeria, to stage the #RevolutionNow protest allegedly aimed at removing the President.

It also accused Sowore of cybercrime offences in violation of section 24(1)(b) of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention) Act, by “knowingly” sending “messages by means of press interview granted on Arise Television network which you knew to be false for the purpose of causing insult, enmity, hatred and ill-will on the person of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

Reacting, Amnesty international in a post on its verified Twitter page condemned the charges.

The global rights human organization described the charges against Sowore “as an attempt by the Nigerian authorities to deprive Sowore of his human rights”


The post read: “Amnesty International condemns the bizarre charges pressed on activist Omoyele Sowore for expressing his views in media interviews.

“The trumped up charges he is facing show an attempt by the Nigerian authorities to deprive him of his human rights; Omoyele Sowore continued incarceration on application of the Terrorism Act for exercising his right to freedom of expression is a misuse of the criminal system to silence dissent.

“We call on the Nigerian authorities to respect and protect human rights of all persons without discrimination and ensure that it does not use its laws to justify violations of Omoyele Sowore human rights.”

Notice Buhari is yet to condemn
fulani herdsmen,Boko Haram or
Miyetti Allah, let alone arrest them.

Instead if people arrest Fulani Herdsmen the Army cones to rescue them.

Boko Haram are recruited into the Army.

When Kanu declared Biafra, many from the West abused him.

In fact it's the fulani herdsmen that made Kanu declare Biafra in this video.

Now the West is beginning to see what we saw with Sowore & The way they are humiliating Osinbajo.

Make him popular Buhari

Inside life...Sowore used his media might saharareporters.com to ridicule former President Goodluck Jonathan not knowing the cane used to flog the first wife is still properly kept for the new wife...Buhari must make sure he rots in jail dan iska.

Obasanjo, Saraki, Atiku etc all forced Buhari down our throats now they are regretting it...i am patiently waiting for Tinubu's turn.

Buhari till 2098...Nigerians never suffer reach.

Final bullet:
If you supported Buhari and you are now complaining, God punish you.

Buhari that doesn't know what he is doing. Is that one a president
In fact anytime i hear buhari i suddenly start feeling sad

Ok

Afonjas now looking at Sowore " Omo Ijaw."

sowore deserve more. a one time chief propaganda of buhari. I remembered, he wrote many lies against dino,Gej, saraki, just to tarnish their image. e.g wen Dino was giving a chieftaincy title in osun, don't forget the certificate issue, and many others. nemesis finally catch up with him. I laugh in Chinese.


sowore deserve more..

PMB should learn fro m Jonathan how to practice democracy. Elrufai, Tunubu, 'Sowore and even PMB did worse during the 2012 fuel subsidy protests but Jonathan never bully or arrest anybody. Even when some APC leaders threatened parallel government, Jonathan did not got paranoid and start arresting people illegally.

CAN ANY GOOD COME OUT OF APC? Most Nigerian put their trust in VP, since is a Pastor and worship in one of the biggest auditorium he will do well , I am telling you APC is like a butterfly without specific destination. They have no plan for the Nigerian.

A

; Do

Frivolous charges so he wont be granted bail, as capital offence like treason is unbailable, this tactical silly move is simple to limit violence inciteful people as Government knows any incitement speeches on media would have far worse outcome than rwanda

..

sowore should enjoy the devil he helped create. even if he die in prison nothing will happen. amnesty international should save their time for the real oppressed not corrupt politicians like sowore

Sowore, Mandela of our dear generation

They can only react, their is absolutely nothing they can do.

They should go and react to happenings in Hong Kong first and get back to us.

Amnesty, na so we see am o

Nigeria now has a certified mad man in power o
