Togo authorities urged to investigate attack on journalist’s car

NewsReporters Without Borders (RSF) calls on the Togolese authorities to conduct a swift and thorough investigation into a clearly targeted attack on investigative reporter Loïc Lawson’s car after he published a story about a questionable real estate acquisition involving a minister. Persons in a car with no licence plates attacked Lawson’s car while it was parked outside the Lomé-based newspaper that he edits, Le Flambeau des Démocrates, on 28 April.
