New York \u2014 Authorities in Ivory Coast detained a journalist on Thursday for moderating a TV talk show favorable to ousted former ousted president Laurent Gbagbo, according to local journalists.<\/p>\n

Hermann Aboa, a presenter with national, state-run public broadcaster Radiodiffusion T\u00e9l\u00e9vision Ivoirienne (RTI) is being held in the Agban military police camp in the economic capital, Abidjan, journalists told CPJ. A public prosecutor read a three-page charge sheet to Aboa listing numerous anti-state crimes, including endangering state security and incitement to racial hatred, a source close to the case who spoke on condition of anonymity told CPJ.<\/p>\n

The charges relate to Aboa’s role as a moderator of a political talk show entitled Raison d’\u00c9tat (“National Interest”) during the five-month long political crisis that followed disputed elections between President Alassane Ouattara and incumbent President Laurent Gbagbo. The program exclusively featured guests favorable to then-president Gbagbo, who controlled the station before he was ousted in April by forces loyal to Ouattara.<\/p>\n

“The prosecution of Hermann Aboa for moderating a TV show contradicts President Ouattara’s public pledges that pro-Gbagbo journalists would not be persecuted,” said CPJ Africa Advocacy Coordinator Mohamed Keita. “We call for the immediate release of Aboa and the charges against him to be dropped.”<\/p>\n

For several weeks, the Ouattara government has been holding six other current and former journalists and media personalities among a group of 15 people, on anti-state charges allegedly for their militancy in favor of Gbagbo, according to news reports and CPJ research.<\/p>\n
