Amnesty International is accusing the Nigerian military of war crimes and possibly crimes against humanity in its fight with the Boko Haram. A new report says more than 8,000 prisoners have been killed since 2011, and hundreds more rounded up and shot dead. Amnesty’s Anna Neistat said top commanders should be held responsible.

Anna Neistat: “This report presents cases of extrajudicial executions, massive deaths in custody, torture and forced disappearances and massive arbitrary arrests. And most importantly, in this report we name the officials who we believe are individually responsible or bear command responsibility for these violations. These are some of the highest levels of military command in Nigeria. And first and foremost, we are calling for an investigation to establish their responsibility and to bring them to justice.”
