Description
Reaction in Cotonou to the announcement of the sentencing of the Beninese opponent and former Minister of Justice Reckya Madougou to 20 years in prison for "terrorism". A former president of the Bar, Jacques Migan, believes that the trial had "nothing to do with politics" and "respected the criteria of a fair trial". The lawyer of the defendant, who pleaded not guilty, reacted on Twitter by saying that the crime of Reckya Madougou was "to have embodied a democratic alternative to the regime of Patrice Talon".
