Mohamed Ibrahim Waiss was arrested while covering a protest staged by Mothers in Buldhuqo. The group was calling for the government to honour its promise to provide them with building plots in another neighbourhood.
Reporters Without Borders is appalled by government opponent and former journalist Daher Ahmed Farah’s incarceration on 2 July 2013 in Djibouti’s Gabode prison to begin serving a two-month jail sentence on a charge of “refusing to comply with a judicial order.”
A Djibouti court yesterday sentenced Maydaneh Abdallah Okieh to 45 days in prison and a fine of 200,000 Djibouti francs (860 euros) for posting photos on his Facebook page of police breaking up an opposition demonstration. It also ordered him to pay 2 million francs (8,600 euros) in damages.
