An Appeals Court in Guinea on Wednesday released journalist Sekou Pendessa, secretary general of the Private Press Association of Guinea. He was sentenced last week and fined $50 for protesting economic hardships and ineffective government policies. Meanwhile, labor union protests demanding Pendessa’s release was suspended late Wednesday. Daouda Mohamed Camara, editor-in-chief at Espace FM, tells VOA’s James Butty, Pendessa told his colleagues to keep the pressure on the military junta until there is freedom of the press.
