Press Release: MFWA condemns creeping criminalisation of speech in Ghana; calls for urgent reversals The Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA) is gravely alarmed over the escalating pattern of state-backed arrests and detentions of bloggers and activists under the guise of combating "false news." The arrest of Democracy Hub activist Wendell Nana Yaw Yeboah, the latest in the litany of such incidents, signals a dangerous retrogression in Ghana’s democratic credentials, effectively resurrecting the repressive logic of the repealed Criminal Libel Law.

@TheAfricaReport has reported that President Embalo of Guinea Bissau has been arrested by the Army. This comes after Sunday's peaceful elections in which both Embalo and the opposition leader have claimed victory. theafricareport.com/400185/coup-in… #GuineaBissau #AfricanElections

This report underscores the disturbing actions by the Tanzanian Government to suppress protestors. Evidence of mass graves show an unacceptable attempt to cover-up gross violations of human rights. There must be an independent investigation into these tragic acts immediately.
