 Niger’s Highest Court Withdraws Immunity Of Deposed President Bazoum

Bazoum’s lawyers have been unable to communicate with him since last October and have had restricted access to case material, according to HRW.


Late last year, the highest court of West African regional bloc ECOWAS ruled that Bazoum and his family were arbitrarily detained and called for him to be restored to office.
