Article 19, British human rights organisation has condemned the recent terrorist attacks on journalists in Mali and Burkina Faso, which resulted in the deaths of three people and the kidnapping of another.
The group, which has a specific mandate and focus on the defence and promotion of freedom of expression and freedom of information, said the murder of two Spanish journalists and an Irish conservationist, as well as the disappearance of a Burkinabe in eastern Burkina Faso on April 26, are deplorable.
According to the group, the government of Burkina Faso must immediately mount an independent, impartial and credible investigation into the killings and disappearance, bring the perpetrators to justice, and ensure all truth on this tragic incident is made public.
