Od početka tog slučaja, pojedinci i organizacije za ljudska prava -- uključujući i Helsinško udruženje građana, Udruženje Sloboda na zemlji i Fondaciju za ljudska prava -- potpisuju peticije za interveniranje u tom predmetu, tvrdeći da je Okeyev identitet službeno potvrđen kad mu je tijelo prebačeno u Nigeriju.
Since the beginning of the case, individuals and human rights organisations -- including The Helsinki Citizens' Association, the Freedom on Earth Association and the Human Rights Foundation -- have signed petitions to intervene in the case, claiming Okey's identity was officially confirmed when his body was transported to Nigeria.
