Niger Refuses to Release Jailed Rights Activist Moussa Tiangari
A court in Niger's capital, Niamey, has rejected an appeal by prominent human rights activist Moussa Tiangari, marking his third failed attempt to have a politically motivated case against him dismissed.
Tiangari, 55, and secretary general of Citizens Alternative Spaces (AEC) has been in detention since December 2024 and was later charged with conspiracy and plotting against the state, crimes that could carry the death penalty. His case has yet to be heard by a judge.
Since the July 2023 coup, Niger's military junta has cracked down on the opposition, media, and civil society. Former President Mohamed Bazoum and his wife have been arbitrarily detained for politically motivated reasons in Niamey since the coup.
