A global rights and justice advocacy organization, Clooney Foundation for Justice, has said that the treasonable felony charge against Nigerian human rights activist and convener of #RevolutionNow, Omoyele Sowore, by the Nigerian government, was among many global cases it monitored in which opposition political party candidates were targeted with baseless criminal trials for daring to speak out against the government in power. Clooney Foundation for Justice monitors trials globally, defends the rights of victims and survivors and holds perpetrators accountable.
