Burkina Faso: CPJ troubled by editor's detention

The Committee to Protect Journalists is deeply concerned by the detention of Mathieu N'do, managing editor of the pro-opposition weekly San Finna. Local sources say N'do was arrested November 5 at the airport in the capital, Ouagadougou, as he was returning from Ivory Coast, where he had traveled to report on ongoing tensions between government and rebel forces. Local journalists believe N'do's detention may be linked to his journalistic work, which is often critical of the Burkina Faso government.
