Nigerien Court Orders Release of Deposed President Bazoum's Son
As a result of the military coup in Niger, which took place in late July, the country's President Bazoum was overturned and detained. In early October, a lawsuit was reportedly filed in the Niamey court by his lawyers, demanding immediate release of the ousted leader.
A Nigerien court has ordered the release from custody of Salem Bazoum, the son of the deposed
Bazoum, the statement reported.
"To publicly make the following decision… Salem Mohammed Bazoum is a victim of an obviously illegal abuse of authority and violation ... his immediate release is ordered," the document said.
According to the Nigerien news outlet Air Info Agadez, Salem has been held in the presidential palace in the country's capital, Niamey since July 26.
In Niger, on July 26, a group of soldiers from the Presidential Guard mutinied and announced the removal of Bazoum. To govern the country, the National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland (CNSP) was formed, headed by the commander of the Guard Abdourahmane Tchiani. On August 10, Tchiani signed a decree on the formation of a transitional government.
In response to the military coup, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) suspended all cooperation with Niger and threatened military intervention if the rebels did not reinstate Bazoum.
On September 20, the ousted leader reportedly
hired a Senegalese lawyer to file a lawsuit against his "unlawful detention." In early October, the lawsuit was taken to the Niamey court.
