  2月5日VOA聽力:大赦國際訓斥復職尼日利亞軍官戰斗罪惡

  

  In one of the most disturbing allegations, Amnesty International claims the Nigerian militaryexecuted more than 640 prisoners who has briefly escaped after Boko Haram attacked adetention center in Giwa in 2014.

  The group says the man in command of operations that day was Major General AhmaduMohammed.

  “He was also in charge of that military detention facility, and suspects in that facility died on analmost daily basis as a result of horrific conditions.

  They were tortured, starved, and even died of disease in that facility.”

  Major General Ahmadu Mohammed was retired in 2014 for unrelated reasons, but Amnesty sayshe was reinstated last month.

  In a report published last June, the group alleged that more than 7,000 detainees were starved,suffocated, and tortured to death in detention camps, and a further 1,200 were unlawfullykilled.

  A spokesperson for the Nigerian Defense Ministry said Amnesty's claims remain allegationsunless they are proven beyond any reasonable doubt.

  Amnesty says the evidence is clear.

  “Our report was based on interviews with more than 400 witnesses, including military sources.

  We used also video evidence of war crimes, including the execution of unarmed men byNigerian soldiers.”

  When the report was published in June, Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari wrote on Twitterthat the allegations would be investigated.

  “We are still waiting for those investigations, they haven't begun yet;but it is unthinkable thatsomeone who was named in our report could be put in control of troops again, without thoseinvestigations having taken place.”

  Meanwhile, in recent days more than 150 people have been reported killed in Boko Haramattacks in Nigeria's northeast.

  At least 65 people died when militants open fire on civilians and set fire to houses in Maiduguri.

  Suicide bombers also targeted crowds in the city.
