Following the conclusion of the protests against ongoing economic hardship and insecurity last month, security forces have intensified their crackdown, leading to the arrest of hundreds, including minors.
Many of those detained are currently being held without formal charges, raising serious concerns and criticisms from human rights organisations regarding the government’s authoritarian methods.
This escalating situation has alarmed human rights advocates, who have voiced their outrage over the government’s stringent response to the protests.
