Press Release - At a meeting in the Ivorian capital Abidjan at the end of October, the network of press freedom lawyers created by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) in February welcomed new members from Mali, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire and Guinea. RSF continues to develop this network to defend the right to information in a region marked by the exile, assassination and enforced disappearance of journalists, particularly in Sahel countries.
