Niger's top court on Friday lifted the immunity of deposed president Mohamed Bazoum, paving the way for a possible trial after his ouster in a July 2023 military coup.

"The court orders the lifting of Mohamed Bazoum's immunity," said the body, created in November by the new military leadership. The Niger authorities accuse Bazoum of treason, financing terrorism and plotting to undermine the state.
