Collective opposition refuses to take part in commission

    ABIDJAN

    The “Collective of Mass Organisations and Political Parties” said on Saturday it would only take part in the commission if what it called a state of seige was lifted, detainees released and sanctions lifted on those who took part in an anti-government strike last week. Zongo’s death has promoted a wave of anti-government demonstrations in the country and protests by international human rights bodies and media organisations.

    The collective groups journalists’ associations, lawyers, defenders of human rights, some political parties and grassroots organisations.
