Free Sowore Now

We are a dedicated team of family, friends and neighbors working around the clock with Omoyele Sowore's wife to bring Yele home to his family and our community.

Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone who is touched by the violence inflicted by the Nigerian government on peaceful protesters and innocent citizens. Our hearts are breaking. The world is watching. #EndSARS #HumanRights

Nigerian authorities must immediately and unconditionally release activist Omoyele Sowore and other activists; who were arrested by the police during a New Year’s Eve peaceful protest in Abuja.

[Free Sowore Now @FreeSoworeNow]

"The incoming Biden administration has signaled that it will be deeply concerned about human rights issues. The arrest of Sowore and the denial of bail is a poor representation of Nigeria to the incoming administration."

The arrest of Nigerian journalist and human rights activist Omoyele Sowore is a poor representation of Nigeria to the incoming Biden administration.

Amnesty International calls on Nigerian authorities to immediately and unconditionally release activist Omoyele Sowore and other activists who were arrested by the police during a New Year’s Eve peaceful protest in Abuja.

Stephen Townley of the CFJ’s TrialWatch initiative, said: “At a minimum, Nigeria should let Mr. Sowore return to his home in the United States over the holidays, pending the resumption of his trial.” #FreeSowore #FreeSoworeNow

[Robert & Ethel Kennedy Human Rights Center @Kennedy_HRC]

"The delays in the proceedings are in themselves a form of punishment... At the very least, Mr. Sowore should be permitted to return to the United States." @chr_aba's new report entails severe #humanrights violations against our client @sowore.

[Free Sowore Now @FreeSoworeNow]

Calls for peaceful protest do not constitute treason. Proceedings are a violation of Sowore’s rights to freedom of expression, assembly, and trial without undue delay. AGF should withdraw the charges or Federal High Court should dismiss the case. #FreeSowore #FreeSoworeNow

[ABA Human Rights @chr_aba]

#Nigeria: read @chr_aba's report finding that the case vs. @sowore has been marred by severe prosecutorial misconduct by the DSS and AGF. https://t.co/yd47sM5mVA The charges should be withdrawn/ dismissed. @wademc @angelaquintal @Salem_Solomon @SaharaReporters @ruthmaclean

The judge adjourned the case till January 26, February 4 and 5, 2021 for continuation of hearing. #FreeSowore #FreeSoworeNow
