Demand Freedom for President Bazoum

We, the undersigned, stand together in urgent demand for the immediate release of President Mohamed Bazoum of Niger. Unjustly detained since July 2023, President Bazoum has been held captive by a military junta under inhumane conditions, denied access to basic freedoms, and isolated from his family and supporters.

As a leader, President Bazoum dedicated his life to promoting democracy, human rights, and stability in Niger. Through initiatives to combat extremism, reduce corruption, and increase educational opportunities, particularly for women and girls, he worked tirelessly for a better future for Niger and its people. His presidency represented a beacon of hope in a region facing profound challenges to democratic governance.

President Bazoum’s ongoing detention is not only a grave violation of his human rights but also a blow to democratic principles and stability in West Africa. We believe his unjust captivity sets a dangerous precedent, undermining both the rule of law and international commitments to uphold democratic values.

We call on world leaders and committed democrats to take immediate, decisive action to secure the release of President Bazoum and to restore Niger’s path to civilian rule.

Together, we demand justice. Together, we stand for freedom. Together, we support Mohamed Bazoum.
