‘Go back to Africa’ jibe sparks Paris protest
Mozambique has bowed to international pressure to release a journalist who was arrested a week ago on suspicion of terrorism.
In the five years since militants began their insurgency in Cabo Delgado province, Arlindo Chissale is the third journalist to be accused of participating in jihadist acts there.
There are reports that Mr Chassale was denied food while he was in detention in Balama town.
Mr Chissale was granted a provisional release on Thursday after a judge decided there wasn’t a strong enough case for keeping him in preventive detention, says media freedom watchdog MISA-Mozambique.
