Nigerien Supreme Court to Decide on Removing Immunity for Deposed President Bazoum
- The Nigerien junta approached the Supreme Court to strip deposed President Bazoum of immunity to charge him with treason.
- The Court reserved April 10, 2024 to deliver judgement on removing Bazoum's immunity.
- The move has polarized citizens - some support it, others feel it's political witch-hunt.
- Bazoum's legal team asked for time to study the case, but the court declined and will rule in 5 days.
- The international community is pressing for Bazoum, his family, and cabinet officials to be freed unconditionally.
