Mali: 6 officers close to Bah N'Daw tried for conspiracy against the state

Six close associates of former transitional president Bah N'Daw appeared Tuesday before the criminal chamber of the Bamako Court of Appeal on suspicion of conspiracy against the government. They include former State Security chief Colonel Kassoum Goïta and former presidential secretary general Kalilou Doumbia. The specific charges have not been made public, and the defense denounces a political case targeting allies of Bah N'Daw, who was overthrown in 2021. Lawyers claim the accused were tortured and denied adequate medical care.
