Nigeria's Federal High Court convicted 386 people on terrorism charges in a four-day mass trial in April 2026—the largest single batch in the country's nine-phase prosecution of Boko Haram and ISWAP suspects. While the government hails the convictions as proof of judicial resolve, human rights organizations and defense lawyers raise persistent concerns about years-long pretrial detention, reliance on confessions, secret proceedings, and the near-total absence of accountability for security forces accused of abuses in the same conflict.
