New York, May 7, 2021 – The Committee to Protect Journalists today expressed great concern for the safety of French journalist Olivier Dubois, and called on any party holding him in custody to release him immediately and without harm.
“French journalist Olivier Dubois must be released immediately and unharmed, and French and Malian authorities should do everything in their power to hold his captors to account,” said Angela Quintal, CPJ’s Africa program coordinator. “Dubois’ abduction is a reminder that journalists covering the Sahel region face an extremely high threat of kidnapping, and work under very dangerous circumstances.”
