This article is for subscribers only.
Amnesty International said it obtained Nigerian video footage, images and testimonies of war crimes committed by government forces and Islamist insurgents in the country’s northeast.
The “gruesome” evidence includes images of detainees whose throats were cut and their bodies “dumped in mass graves by men who appear to be members of the Nigerian military” and a pro-government militia, London-based Amnesty said in an e-mailed statement today. There’s another showing the impact of an attack by Boko Haram insurgents on a village in which about 100 people were killed.
