Ousted Niger President Bazoum Visited by His Doctor

The European Union and the African Union have joined others in condemning the overthrow of Bazoum and subsequent detention by the country’s military.
The UN rights chief Volker Turk said Bazoum’s reported detention conditions “could amount to inhuman and degrading treatment, in violation of international human rights law”.
Top US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, said he was “dismayed” by the military’s refusal to release Bazoum’s family as a “demonstration of goodwill.”
