*SIERRA LEONE*

*Suspect arrested in murder of journalist Ibrahim Foday*

 Reporters Without Borders notes that Tunde Williams, the main suspect in
the murder of *Ibrahim Foday*, a reporter for the daily *The Exclusive *stabbed
to death in June 2011, was arrested on 3 November.



Foday, 38, had been covering a land dispute between two communities on the
outskirts of the capital, Freetown. Three people were arrested at the time
but were quickly released.



 “The perseverance of the police authorities in this investigation is most
encouraging,” the press freedom organization said. “We hope that it will
run its course and lead to the punishment of those who carried out the
crime and those behind it. Such an outcome would demonstrate that the
Sierra Leone authorities do not allow violations of freedom of information
to go unpunished.”



The Sierra Leone Association of Journalists has nonetheless requested a
fuller investigation into the role of others suspected to be implicated in
Foday’s murder.

*SIERRA LEONE*

*Arrestation d'un suspect dans le meurtre du journaliste Ibrahim Foday*

Reporters sans frontières prend acte de l'arrestation, le 3 novembre 2012,
de Tunde Williams, l'homme présenté comme le principal suspect dans le
meurtre, en juin 2011, de *Ibrahim Foday*. Enquêtant pour le quotidien *The
Exclusive* sur un désaccord foncier entre deux communautés, le journaliste
de 38 ans avait été poignardé à mort. Les suspects interpellés à l'époque
par la police avaient été rapidement relâchés.



"La persévérance des autorités de police dans cette investigation est très
encourageante. Nous espérons que l'enquête aboutira à son terme et
permettra de sanctionner tous les coupables et commanditaires. Un tel
épilogue marquerait la volonté des autorités sierra-léonaises de ne pas
laisser les violations de la liberté de l'information impunies", a déclaré
Reporters sans frontières.



L'Association des journalistes de Sierra Leone (Sierra Leone Association of
Journalists - SLAJ) demande néanmoins que le rôle de certains autres
suspects dans la mort de Ibrahim Foday fasse l'objet d'une enquête plus
approfondie.
