The Chadian authorities should vacate or set aside the conviction of Succès Masra, the former Chadian prime minister and main opposition leader, Human Rights Watch said today. Masra was released from prison on August 15, 2026, after receiving a presidential pardon. His pardon and those of eight other political opponents led to their release from prison. However, their convictions for conduct that was legitimate political expression still stand and need to be set aside so they can continue to participate in politics.
