Burkina Faso junta secretly detained journalist and others, advocacy group says
Burkina Faso's authorities secretly held and abused a prominent investigative journalist and dozens of others in a makeshift detention facility in the capital, an international advocacy group said Wednesday, in the latest crackdown on political dissent in the West African nation. Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said Atiana Serge Oulon, editor of the newspaper L’Evenement, was taken from his home in June 2024 by several armed men in civilian clothes. For more, FRANCE 24's Clarisse Fortune is joined by Arnaud Froger, Head of the Investigation desk at RSF.
