RevolutionNow: Clampdown on protesters wrong, group says
The group spoke on the development through a statement signed by the director, Idayat Hassan.
In Abuja, Deji Adeyanju, one of the organisers of the protest confirmed that all the arrested protesters had been released. Also, Festus Ogun, another activist in Ogun, confirmed the release of five protesters arrested in the state. “Further, the Centre emphasises that by the actions of security operatives on 5th August 2020, at least three fundamental rights of the protesters were infringed upon: the right of association, right to peaceful assembly, and the right to freedom of expression,” it said.
Also, the CDD warned the federal government against using the Coronavirus pandemic as an excuse to shrink the civic space.
