Alain Traoré and Lookman Sawadogo are charged with complicity in non-denunciation in the case of the Mogho Naaba. In early May, audios calling for the burning of the monarch's palace circulated on social media.
The court believes that they had information about the audios that circulated. These arrests come in a climate of pressure and threats on the Burkinabe press since Captain IbrahimTraoré came to power. According to Radio Omega, the judgment is scheduled for next Saturday.
