Nigerian military unlawfully detain children at rehabilitation centre for militants - Amnesty

In the latest allegations of rights abuses since Boko Haram began its insurgency in Nigeria's northeast, Amnesty criticised Operation Safe Corridor, a programme that receives financial and technical support from the European Union, Britain, the United States and the UN International Organisation for Migration.

Nigeria's military did not immediately respond to requests for comment. It has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in response to such accusations during a decade of conflict. "For almost everyone held to date, it amounts to unlawful detention," Amnesty said of the programme which is based in Gombe state and aims at reintegrating former militants into their communities.

"Many people there are not former fighters who committed crimes, much less were charged or convicted of any crime," it said in a report that also listed alleged rights abuses by Boko Haram and criticised conditions at other military detention centres. Amnesty said Safe Corridor"includes positive elements", including adult education and psychosocial counselling described favourably by people formerly held there.
