Burkina Faso’s Independent Commission of Enquiry has appointed a judge to head an investigation into the controversial death of journalist Norbert Zongo, Justice Minister Paul Tchembe announced yesterday. According to AFP, the minister said Judge Kassoum Kambou, a human rights expert, would lead a 10-member commission including representatives of the government, human rights groups and national journalists’ unions. The charred corpse of Zongo, who was managing editor of the daily ‘l’Independant’, and three other people were found in suspicious circumstances last month on a deserted stretch of road, 100 km south of Ouagadougou, AFP recalled. The BBC meanwhile reported that a new national press centre, named after the dead journalist, has been inaugurated in Burkina Faso.
