Mujahid Dokubo Asari (C), a militant leader from Nigeria's oil-producing Niger Delta region, protests outside a courtroom in Abuja March 13, 2007 after his application for bail was turned down. Asari has been on trial for treason for a year and a half but the court has yet to hear a witness or tackle a substantive issue as the case drags on from one adjournment to the next.
