#Nigeria - Giwa Barracks: "A place of death" Maiduguri in Borno State

Published on 10 May 2016
A new report by Amnesty International says children are dying in military detention in northeast Nigeria. The victims and their families are being held in Giwa Barracks, in Maiduguri in Borno State. Amnesty says more than one hundred children - some as young as five - are being held in over crowded and inhumane conditions. But the military says most of the detainees are Boko Haram fighters and suspects.
