The group noted that Sowore and others were unlawfully arrested on December 31 for peacefully exercising their rights to freedom of assembly and expression.
It accused the Nigerian government of using delay tactics to frustrate the bail applications of the activists who have spent eight days in detention.
According to Amnesty, the detention is uncalled for and has shown a continued pattern of repression by the authorities.
