Togo lifts suspension on foreign journalist accreditations
Togo authorities said they will lift a suspension on accreditations for foreign journalists imposed in April after a highly contested constitutional reform.
The High Authority for Audiovisual and Communication (HAAC) suspended accreditations before legislative elections that saw President Faure Gnassingbe’s ruling party extend his family’s political dynasty.
HAAC had said the suspension was because of “serious failures” in the coverage of Togo’s politics by French media and issues with a French journalist who was expelled from Togo.
