Niger: 33 inmates suffocated in overcrowded cell as guards ignored pleas for help
In Niger, 33 detainees died in an overcrowded cell after guards ignored their calls for help. According to reports, 72 people were crammed into a poorly ventilated 20 m² space, where slow suffocation occurred over 11 hours. Before investigators arrived, the cell may have been cleaned and disinfected, complicating the investigation. Human rights organizations described the treatment of prisoners as "cruel and inhuman."
