The Committee to Protect Journalists calls on Chadian authorities to permit the privately owned Le Visionnaire newspaper to resume operations after it was suspended from publishing for three months over a report into government mismanagement.
Dakar —
"Chadian authorities must lift their suspension of Le Visionnaire and refrain from using press accreditation as an instrument of censorship," said Angela Quintal, head of CPJ's Africa program, in New York."Political leaders and government officials should be able to respond to media criticism without trying to silence the press."
Halata filed a complaint with HAMA, which said that the authors of the report"did not provide any evidence of their allegations" and that"the disputed article contains insulting and defamatory language."
