In the Central African Republic, one of the opposition leaders, Maître Crépin Mboli-Goumba, was arrested on Sunday March 3 at Bangui airport. He is being prosecuted for "defamation and contempt of court" following a complaint from four magistrates.
All lawyers in the country have decided to go on strike as long as he is in detention. The President of the Bar justifies this decision, speaking to Esdras Ndikumana of RFI's Africa editorial team.
