In Côte d'Ivoire, opposition leader Assalé Tiémoko placed under judicial control

Assalé Tiémoko, president of the movement Today Tomorrow Côte d'Ivoire (ADCI), was placed under judicial control after his hearing by the investigating judge on May 15, 2026. He was charged with spreading false news, disturbing public order, and making outrageous proposals. Although he was questioned for nearly sixteen hours, he was allowed to return home without being placed in custody. Tiémoko is known for his criticisms of Alassane Ouattara's regime and has recently heightened tensions between the opposition and the government.
