BREAKING: Media houses have been told by the head of security (Fidelity) not to broadcast or even record court proceedings at the Randburg Magistrates' Court. This is despite applications for permission to broadcast having been sent to the designated official and the NPA.
We are greatly relieved. Four days in secretive intelligence custody is unacceptable treatment of an investigative journalist. CPJ welcomes the overdue release of Micah Reddy and Kooki Mahmoud, but serious questions remain about their detention and Djibouti’s opaque accreditation
Update: ICIJ reporter Micah Reddy has been released from custody in Djibouti. He is safe and will soon reunite with his family. We are grateful to everyone who shared their support for Reddy, his family and ICIJ's efforts to bring him home. buff.ly/Yf5roZm
