#EndBadGovernance: Workers’ Coalition Demands End to Trial of Abuja 11, Accuses Government of Political Persecution
The Solidarity Network for Workers’ Rights (SNWR) has called for the dismissal of all charges against the 11 activists arrested during the #EndBadGovernance protests, describing the case as a politically motivated attempt to suppress dissent. Ahead of the December 10 court hearing, the group accused the Nigerian government of weaponising the judiciary, failing to provide credible evidence, and ignoring the worsening hardship facing citizens. SNWR said the trial exposes rising authoritarianism and urged labour unions, students, and global human rights bodies to intensify pressure for justice and the release of all political detainees.
