| dc.description | Terrorism is an organised transnational crime that has the potential danger to the stability and security
of nations, and largely a threat to international peace. The rise of terrorist armed groups across the globe
has brought about renewed efforts by States to enact legislations that will curtail the harmful activities of
terrorists. Detention is one of such effort used in preventing and disrupting the plans of these terrorists.
Nations affected by the activities of armed terrorists experienced arrest and detention of suspects, backed
with terrorism prevention legislations with the expected aim of safeguarding the national security. Nevertheless,
such detentions are often posed with perceived threat of violation of rights. Cases of prolonged
detention without trials are alleged, where suspects are kept on unsubstantiated suspicions with denied
access to lawyer and family members. The opportunity to challenge these violations and the basis of
detention before the court of law are equally denied. The paper, using doctrinal research method examines
anti terrorism laws in Malaysia and Nigeria, with particular reference to detention of Boko Haram
suspects in Nigeria. The paper concludes with recommendations on the challenges faced by detainees and
the need for adequate safeguards on their rights. | en_US |
