This Amnesty briefing, based on research carried out in the towns of Ségou, Sévaré and Niono, reports that civilians are at risk from all sides in the conflict. It reports that at least five civilians, including three young children, were killed in an air attack launched by the joint French and Malian counter offensive to take over the town of Konna and on credible reports that civilians have been extrajudicially executed by the Malian military since January.
Amnesty has also collected testimonies about human rights abuses and violations of international humanitarian law by armed Islamist groups including unlawful killings and the use of child soldiers.
