A prison rights activist, Golden Miles Bhudu on Monday protested the prosecution of Henry Okah at a South Africa court.
The activist insisted that Mr Okah is not a terrorist and that the South African court prosecuted an innocent man.
On January 21, a Johannesburg Magistrate court in South African found Mr Okah guilty of terrorism charges levelled against him by the federal government of Nigeria.
However, Mr. Bhudu is of the opinion that South Africa should not be involved in the case.
“South Africa had no right to charge him,” He said.
“Mr. Henry Okah is a freedom fighter; He is not a terrorist,” Mr Bhudu said outside the High Court in Johannesburg.
“My brothers and sisters wake up and smell the coffee; an innocent man has been prosecuted. Mr Henry Okah is not a bloody terrorist.”
Mr. Bhudu appeared at the court dressed in orange prison overalls with chains wrapped around him whilst displaying two posters in his hands.
“Henry Okah is a political detainee and not a terrorist, says SAPOHR (The South African Prisoners Organisation for Human Rights (SAPOHR))” and “Henry Okah’s trial re-enacts Rivonia trial of 1964, says SAPOHR,” the placards read.
