The editor-in-chief of a Mali newspaper has been detained after publishing a letter that denounced the salary of the man who led last year's coup.
According to a journalist at The Republican newspaper, his editor, Boukary Daou, was taken away by agents from Mali's intelligence service on Wednesday.
The paper had published a letter from an army officer that criticised the salary enjoyed by Captain Amadou Haya Sanogo while Malian troops die fighting militants in the north of the country.
Sanogo, who seized power last March, was revealed two months ago to be drawing pay of 4m francs (£5,400).
