Case of journalists arrested for alleged theft of glasses: cornered, Alamine Ousmane Mey finally breaks his silence, but does not apologize - Lebledparle

Alamine Ousmane Mey finally responded to the case of journalists arrested for the alleged theft of his glasses, expressing his esteem for the profession without offering apologies. Journalists François Essomba, Igor Gwet Bibey, Solange Djuikam, and Pierre Mouchili were released after five days in custody, following what the National Union of Information and Communication Professionals (SPIC) deemed arbitrary arrests. The union demanded public apologies and announced a boycott of the Ministry of Economy's activities. The minister's statement did not ease tensions, as it did not address the demands of professional organizations.
