‼️ Following the political rupture and the coup d’état in Niger, Moussa Tchangari was arrested on 3 December 2024 for expressing critical views on the ruling authorities and remains in detention pending trial.

❌ Niger must stop criminalising human rights defenders.

He has been standing up for Niger’s people and their demand for democracy, security, and independence since the 1990s through his work as a student leader, journalist, and more recently as a member of OMCT’s working group on migration and torture.

🇳🇪 #FacesOfHope: Moussa Tchangari is a human rights defender and a regional symbol for peaceful resistance.
