Mali: France contests 20-year prison sentence for diplomat Yann Vezilier

France has rejected the 20-year prison sentence handed down by Malian courts against Yann Vezilier, a French diplomat assigned to the embassy in Bamako. The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs called the accusations 'baseless' and maintained that the agent was acting within the framework of a security cooperation mission.
