MALI: DEFAMATION CHARGE AGAINST PUBLIC TV DIRECTOR DROPPED

The defamation complaint against Sidiki Konaté, director-general of the Office of Radio and Television in Mali (ORTM), has been withdrawn according to Reporters sans frontières (RSF). On 16 May, Konaté was convicted of criminal defamation following a television broadcast in which the mayor of Bamako accused Malian magistrates of being corrupt and inefficient. RSF reports that a few days after Konaté was sentenced to one month in prison, the National Union of the Magistracy withdrew its complaint against him. The case is now closed.
