Sports Journalism: Guinean Security must free Dioulde now - AIPS Africa

His continued incarceration for over a week is condemnable, intolerable and definitelya clear violation of his human rightas he has neither be brought forward for trial nor charged with any offence.

The Union of Sports Journalists in Africa (http://aipsafrica.com) think that Dioulde's continueddetention is also a deliberate attempt to censure and gagthe press in Guinea as well asclamp down on the independence and freedom ofpractising Journalists with in the country.

We seek the support of all who carefor the legacy of freedom which Guinea stands out as a reference to appeal to the Guinean leadership to instigate therelease ofDioulde TODAY.

As an experienced and top journalist in Africa Dioulde has the right to expression of his views and the right to exercise his freedom of movement without let or hindrance. The Guinean security agency should free him now.
