Organised by a socialist student group, ‘Fight for Socialism,’ the demonstrators, both Black and White, carried placards reading, “Drop all charges and release protesters” and “Reverse all anti-poor policies.”
Their demands focused on freeing detained protesters and ending policies they believe hurt Nigeria’s poorest citizens.
The protest took place at WC2N 5BX, London. (Sunday Vanguard)
