Press freedom body slams Niger media ‘harassment’ NIAMEY (AFP) 4 April 09 — A press freedom organisation Friday condemned the government of the west African state of Niger for “harassing” Dounia, an independent broadcasting group.”The Dounia group is the victim of repeated harassment by the judicial authorities,” Reporters Sans Frontieres (Reporters Without Borders) said in a statement………………………..

The statement follows the arrest of Abibou Garba, director of the Dounia radio and television station, on charges of “disseminating false news” following a discussion of a recent visit to Niger by French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

“We urge the authorities to withdraw the charges against Garba,” RSF said.

Garba and Idi Abdou, a political activist in the Alternative Citizen Space organisation, were charged after a televised discussion on the Dounia channel about the mining of uranium in Niger by the French group Areva.

  1. Freedom of the press should be allowed in Nigeria as well as political and religious speech for all religions not just one as some in the United nations would have us to. The truth will set you free, Jesus Christ said. He alone can give us freedom from sin, guilt, and the condemnation of eternal hell forever. We must trust him as our God and Saviour to be set free and have a home in heaven someday. If we repent of our sins against God and trust him as our Saviour. He died for all our sins on the cross,was buried,and rose from the dead the third day,was seen of men,and went back up to heaven. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved,and thy house.(Acts 16:31). In the Authorized King James Holy Bible of 1611, the preserved word of God.
