Two youths charged with second degree murder | SaltWire #newsupdate #halifax #police #newstoday - Burkina Faso has suspended the radio broadcasts of BBC Africa and the U.S-funded Voice of America for two weeks over their coverage of a Human Rights Watch report accusing the army of extrajudicial killings, authorities said late on Thursday.
However, the country's communication council said HRW's report contains"peremptory and tendentious" declarations against the army likely to create public disorder and it would suspend the programmes of the broadcasters over their coverage of the story. HRW conducted its investigation after a regional prosecutor said in March that about 170 people were executed by unidentified assailants during attacks on the villages of Komsilga, Nodin and Soro.
