Gabon investigative journalist Habib Bibalou was badly beaten by soldiers inside the presidential compound in Libreville six days ago after being summoned to the president's office. He is now in intensive care in a military hospital. Bibalou's colleagues at the satirical weekly Le Nganga have stopped going to work for fear of being arrested. Although nominally a democracy, in practice Gabon is the personal fiefdom of President Omar Bongo. (Via AllAfrica.com/Reporters Without Borders)
