African Journalists Finally Released

Two African Journalists have finally been released after being charged and held since January of this year.  The journalists were reporting after having interview local families about a violent Islamist group and were accused of  “spreading messages damaging to the Mozambican Armed Forces.”  According to Reporters Without Borders, even though the two journalists have been released, they are still at risk of being prosecuted and are not in the clear.  These journalists who choose to enter areas of this nature are at risk simply because the authorities do not want negative press to be released and make them look bad.
