Not quite right rod. he was hung under the law of nigeria for being part of a
killing of people at a protest rally. according to the rule of law in nigeria
he was subject to due process and received the judicially-imposed penalty.
better to at least identify that he was done in not b/c he protested as you
imply.
what we might think of the "Due Process" under the military rule and the
way global capitalism destroys local culture both natural and human is the
point.
kind regards
