Comoros: RSF Tells Comoros Don't Blame Journalists for Political Crisis

press release

Reporters Without Borders (RSF) calls on the authorities in the Indian Ocean archipelago of Comoros to stop censoring and intimidating journalists amid a continuing political crisis in the wake of the country's presidential election on 24 March.

In an unprecedented press boycott, Comorian journalists have announced that they will not cover the government's activities for the next two weeks because of "the many attacks on journalists and media outlets" whereas President Azali Assoumani's reelection is being challenged by the opposition candidates, who have formed a National Transition Council (CNT).
