Seychelles editor arrested in demonstration

A newspaper editor was arrested during a demonstration in the Seychelles capital, Victoria, against the state's monopoly hold on radio and TV broadcasting. Roger Mancienne, editor of the weekly Regar, was detained when anti-riot police broke up the demo by several hundred people. The paper's publisher, Jean-François Ferrari, was injured. They were protesting because the opposition political party is denied access to radio and TV, and is also banned from setting up its own broadcasting stations. (Via Reporters Without Borders)
