By Editorial,

The son of Niger’s deposed President Mohamed Bazoum has been released by a military tribunal after spending more than five months in detention.

Salem Bazoum who left for Togo after mediation efforts by regional leaders led to his freedom, was detained along with his parents at the presidential palace after the military staged a coup last July.

His parents remain in detention, with the junta so far refusing to bow to diplomatic pressure to release them.

In a statement, the military tribunal said that the release of Mr Bazoum Jnr was provisional, and it would be “up to him to respond to justice as soon as he is required to do so”.

He had been charged with conspiracy to undermine the authority of the state following the coup. END
