Topic Summary (from www.africa.upenn.edu): Washington, D.C.-- It has been four years since the Nigerian military hijacked the democratic aspirations of the Nigerian people and re-installed itself in power. During that time, Nigeria has endured unprecedented repression under the regime of General Sani Abacha. Human rights abuses have included arbitrary detention, extrajudicial executions, restrictions on free expression, association and the emasculation of the Nigerian judicial system through decrees and the use of military tribunals. These abuses have been documented by international and national organizations including the United Nations Human Rights Commission, the European Union, and the United States Department of State.
