Togolese journalists attacked

At least six Togolese journalists were attacked while covering an opposition party meeting, including Yawo Klousse, the news director of Afrique en ligne.

These attacks can lead to self-censorship and physical threats. Women journalists are especially targeted when reporting on polarizing topics, such as during election periods.
