The Nigerien president detained since July by the soldiers who deposed him has petitioned a regional court demanding his release and reinstatement. That's according to court documents seen by The Associated Press on Wednesday.

The application was filed by his lawyer in the West African regional bloc of ECOWAS court in Nigeria’s capital of Abuja. Soldiers took over power in Niger in a July coup.
