US lawmaker seeks Nnamdi Kanu’s release

James, who represents Michigan’s 10th Congressional District, urged the Nigerian government to free Kanu and respect his fundamental rights. He described Kanu’s continued detention as a violation of international human rights norms and cited previous United Nations opinions on the case. “The detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is a clear example. The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention called for his unconditional release, yet he remains in solitary confinement,” the lawmaker said during his remarks on Capitol Hill. He also accused the Nigerian authorities of enabling the “slaughter of innocent Nigerians” and called on Washington to take a firmer stand on abuses. Kanu, leader of IPOB, has been held in Nigeria on terrorism-related and secessionist charges, despite repeated legal and political appeals for his release. In November 2025, 44 federal lawmakers in Nigeria wrote President Bola Tinubu, asking him to […]

West African deportees sue over US third-country expulsions to Ghana

Eleven West African nationals deported from the United States have sued the Ghanaian government, alleging unlawful detention after being sent to Ghana under a third-country deportation arrangement.bbc+1 The deportees, who are not Ghanaian citizens, say they were held in a military detention facility after arrival and later moved in ways their lawyers describe as illegal and opaque. Their legal team argues that the Ghanaian government has no basis to keep them in custody, since they did not violate any law in Ghana.jurist+2 The case stems from Washington’s growing use of third-country deportation deals, which have seen migrants sent to countries other than their own, including Ghana. Rights advocates say the program raises serious due process and non-refoulement concerns, especially when deportees have no ties to the receiving country.politico+1 Reports indicate that some of the deportees were later expelled from Ghana […]

Court remands Sowore in Kuje Correctional Centre over cybercrime charge

Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the remand of activist and African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore at the Kuje Correctional Centre in the Federal Capital Territory. Justice Mohammed Umar of the court ruled that Sowore should remain in custody until Wednesday, when proceedings will resume on a two-count cybercrime charge filed by the Department of State Services (DSS). The charges centre on a social media post in which Sowore called President Bola Tinubu a “criminal”. The case has attracted public attention because of Sowore’s prominence as a long‑time human rights activist, former presidential candidate, and publisher of Saharareporters. His arrest and remand have also raised concerns about freedom of expression and the use of cyberspace laws against critics of the government. Sowore was previously remanded in Kuje Correctional Centre in 2021 over a similar social media […]

East Jerusalem Demolitions Raise Displacement Fears

Jerusalem is witnessing a growing wave of Palestinian home demolitions and eviction threats, as Israeli authorities accelerate redevelopment and settlement-related projects in East Jerusalem. In the al-Bustan section of Silwan, just south of Jerusalem’s Old City, demolition crews have destroyed dozens of Palestinian-owned properties since late 2023. Residents say the pace of demolitions has increased significantly while international attention remains focused on conflicts elsewhere in the Middle East. Among those affected is 58-year-old Fayez Awad, whose family home was partially demolished. Sitting in what remains of the property, he described the destruction as the loss of a lifetime of effort. "We spent years building this house," Awad said. "Everything we achieved has been taken away, and we are starting over from nothing." Jerusalem remains one of the most contested cities in the world. Israel captured East Jerusalem during the 1967 […]

Iran Executes Man Over Links to Nationwide Protests

Iran has executed a man over his alleged involvement in nationwide anti-establishment protests that erupted in January 2026. Judiciary-affiliated media identified the executed man as Erfan Kiani, whose death sentence was upheld by the Supreme Court before being carried out early Saturday morning. Authorities said Kiani acted on behalf of Israel's Mossad intelligence service. Iranian officials claimed Kiani led a group in the central city of Isfahan that carried out acts including damaging public and private property, setting fires, using Molotov cocktails, blocking roads and attacking security forces during the unrest. State media described him as a key figure in efforts to create "fear and chaos." The execution comes amid an ongoing crackdown following the January protests, with several people executed in recent weeks on similar charges. This is part of what officials say is a broader campaign against foreign-backed […]

Iran Faces Criticism Over Rising Executions

A growing wave of executions in Iran has raised fresh international concern, as human rights groups accuse authorities of using the death penalty to silence dissent following recent political unrest and regional conflict. One of the latest cases involved 29-year-old Kurdish prisoner Mehrab Abdollahzadeh, who was executed after spending more than three years on death row in western Iran. Before his execution, he sent a voice message from prison declaring his innocence and claiming he had been forced into false confessions through torture and threats. Mehrab had been arrested during the nationwide protests that erupted in 2022 after the death of Mahsa Amini while in police custody. Iranian authorities accused him of involvement in the killing of a member of the Basij militia during the demonstrations. According to the Kurdistan Human Rights Network, he was executed without prior notice to […]

ICPC blocked El‑Rufai’s doctor, wife from seeing him — Son alleges

Mohammed Bello, son of former Kaduna State governor Nasir El‑Rufai, has alleged that operatives of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) blocked his father’s personal doctor and wife from seeing him in custody. El‑Rufai is currently being held at the ICPC facility in Abuja on the orders of a court over an ongoing corruption trial. In a statement shared on social media, Bello claimed that the ex‑governor’s personal doctor arrived at the ICPC office around 3pm on Thursday to discuss the results of recent medical tests but was turned back by officials. “Officials at the agency blocked the doctor from seeing him, claiming that written permission from the ICPC Chairman was required,” he wrote, describing the move as a direct violation of a court order granting his father unrestricted access to his doctors.

Islamic states slam Israel’s new death penalty law

Several Islamic states have strongly condemned Israel’s new death penalty law, which targets Palestinians convicted of deadly attacks on Israelis in the occupied territories. They describe the measure as discriminatory, dangerous and a serious threat to regional stability and peace. Under the law, Palestinians in the West Bank who are convicted by Israeli military courts of carrying out lethal attacks classified as acts of terrorism will face death by hanging as the default sentence. Rights groups say the same punishment does not automatically apply to Jewish Israelis convicted of killing Palestinians, making the law clearly unequal and racist in its application. In a joint statement, a group of Muslim majority countries, including Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, condemned the law as a dangerous escalation. They warned that the legislation could inflame tensions, […]

Nearly Three Years After Coup, Fate Of Niger’s Ousted President Still Unclear

Nearly three years after a military coup removed him from power, Niger’s ousted president Mohamed Bazoum remains in detention with his future still uncertain. His presidential term is due to officially expire this week, but there is little sign he will be freed or brought before a court. Bazoum was toppled on July 26, 2023, when members of his presidential guard seized power and formed the National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland. Since then, he has been held inside his residence at the presidential palace in Niamey alongside his wife, with no access to the outside world. According to his legal team, the 65 year old leader is “still held in the same place and in the same conditions,” with doors and windows sealed and no visits from family, lawyers or supporters. Human Rights Watch and other groups […]
