Ghana editor threatened over photographs

The editor of a newspaper in Ghana was threatened and chased away by security guards hired by a man who has been charged with drug offences. Andrew Edwin Arthur, editor of a tri-weekly paper in Accra, The Independent, was taking pictures of the accused man's confiscated mansion at the time. The Media Foundation for West Africa is alarmed by the increasing wave of harassment and intimidation journalists in Ghana in the wake of recent investigation into drug scandals. (Via All Africa.com)
