More
than 950 rebel suspects were reported dead in the Nigeria’s jails in the first
six months of 2013, according
to Amnesty International. The organizations says that rebels suffocated
from over-packed cells and some were beaten to death, while others were removed
from their cells and shot. The dead are allegedly members of Boko Haram, a rebel
group with a possible link to Al Qaeda that is seeking to implement Islamic law
across Nigeria. Boko Haram is accused of gunning down 50 sleeping students because
they believe that secular education is a sin. The
Los Angeles Times discusses possible responses.
