Togo detains French filmmakers and Togolese fixer over alleged immigration violations
Two French documentary filmmakers and their Togolese fixer were arrested on July 27 in Kara, northern Togo, and placed in pretrial detention on charges of making false declarations in immigration procedures. Reporters Without Borders called for their immediate release, while Togo's culture minister and media regulator denied the filmmakers had proper authorization. The detentions come amid strained relations between Togo and French media.
