+ December 2020 in Africa: A free expression roundup produced by IFEX’s regional editor Reyhana Masters, based on IFEX member reports and news from the region.
The end of 2020 brought an unexpected but welcome Christmas Eve gift in the unconditional release, through a presidential pardon, of
Burundian journalists Agnes Ndirubusa, Christine Kamikazi, Egide Harerimana and Terence Mpozenzi.
Very good news, @iwacuinfo journalists Agnès, Christine, Térance & Egide have been released. We welcome this decision because their conviction was unfair. However, other #HRDs likeGermain RUKUKI are still in jail, they also deserve better. @DefendDefenders@AfricaDefenderspic.twitter.com/kO8jvTDB2r
The journalists from Iwacu Press Group, one of the country’s remaining independent media outlets, were sentenced to two and half years in prison and fined a million Burundian francs (US$515) in what was seen as a flawed legal process.
