Guards at a Niger detention facility ignored panicked cries for help as 33 detainees died in a cell last month, according to France 24. Reports indicate that 72 people were crowded into a poorly ventilated space of about 20 square metres, where dozens slowly suffocated over 11 hours. The cell may have been cleaned and disinfected before it could be investigated, and the treatment has been described as cruel and inhuman. France 24's correspondent Sam Olukoya reported on the case.
