Editors sentenced for defaming ex-minister

Two newspaper editors in Guinea have been given suspended six-month jail sentences and fined 50m francs (£6,400) for libelling a former minister. Thiernodjo Diallo and Abdoul Aziz Camara, managing editors of La Vérite and Libération weeklies respectively, had accused Bahna Sidibe, Guinea's former minister of works, of having misappropriated ministry funds. He has strenuously denied the allegations. (Via AllAfrica.com)
