News boycott threat over Sierra Leone murder

The president of Sierra Leone's Association of Journalists (SLAJ), Alhaji Ibrahim Ben Kargbo, says his organisation is stepping up its demand for the killers of Harry Yansaneh, editor of For di People newspaper, to be brought to justice. He threatened a news boycott on some government ministries if the issue is not treated seriously. Yansaneh died last July of kidney failure after an attack by thugs allegedly acting on the orders of a ruling party politician, Fatmata Hassan Komeh. She has been questioned by the police, but denies any link to the incident. (Via allafrica.com)
