Three journalists detained in Somaliland

Three journalists have been arrested in Somaliland for attending a conference deemed by the authorities to be a threat to the region's peace and security.

Abdiqani Ismail Gooh, correspondent for the London-based Somalisat television, and freelancers Ali Yusuf Ahmed and Abdirashid Aideed Dirir were detained on Sunday (20 April) in the disputed town of Las Anod.

The National Union of Somali Journalists (NUSOJ) condemned the arrests and demanded the release of the journalists.
