Justice: Blaise Lasm and Dahi Nestor given new court appearance dates

Hearings for PPA-CI officials Blaise Lasm and Dahi Nestor, detained since their arrest on September 30, 2025, have been postponed by the Abidjan-Plateau Court of First Instance. Lasm is now due in court on November 9, 2026, and Nestor on November 16; no reason was given for the postponements. They face charges including incitement to insurrection, undermining state authority, disturbing public order, and failing to comply with a Constitutional Council decision. The PPA-CI disputes the prosecutions, calling them unjust and arbitrary.
