Washington — Authorities in Burkina Faso on Monday suspended Voice of America for three months over comments made by one of the network's journalists.
In the communique that banned local news outlets from using any international media reports, the CSC said it noted the"dissemination of information of a malicious and biased nature" by national outlets using international media reports. VOA and its parent organization, the U.S. Agency for Global Media, did not immediately reply to requests for comment. Burkina Faso's Foreign Ministry did not reply to VOA's email requesting comment for this story.Authorities suspended VOA and the BBC in April following the broadcast of news stories about a Human Rights Watch report accusing the Burkinabe army of abuses against civilian populations.
