Two Togolese journalists were imprisoned for using social media to disparage a government minister.
Both freelance reporter Anani Sossou and newspaper editor Loic Lawson had accused the housing minister of withholding information about a break-in at his residence.
According to them, the politician did not disclose that more than $600,000 worth of cash had been taken when they reported the crime to the police.
Finally, he filed a lawsuit against them.
Reporters Without Borders, a group that monitors media, has demanded the two be freed right now.
