Reporters Without Borders condemns the prosecution's insistence on requesting a two-year prison sentence for Faustin Bambou, the editor of the privately-owned weekly Les Collines de l'Oubangui, when his trial on charges of libel, insult and "incitement to revolt" opened on 21 January. Bambou has been held since 11 January over an article accusing two ministers of taking kickbacks.
