Police reported that the victim was shot by unidentified individuals in a moving vehicle, prompting an ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Two days earlier, on 11 October, security forces in Abidjan forcibly dispersed an opposition protest denouncing the exclusion of key opposition leaders from the presidential race. At least 237 people, including journalists and activists, were detained, with several injured as police fired tear gas and blocked roads. Civil society organisations condemned the crackdown as disproportionate and politically motivated, while the Interior Ministry defended it as necessary for maintaining public order.<\/p>\n<p>Tensions have intensified since the Constitutional Council validated Ouattara\u2019s candidacy but disqualified opposition figures Laurent Gbagbo and Tidjane Thiam, prompting widespread outrage. Their parties \u2014 the Parti d\u00e9mocratique de C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire (PDCI) and the Parti des peuples africains \u2013 C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire (PPA-CI) \u2014 have launched a \u201cCommon Front\u201d and vowed to continue peaceful demonstrations despite official bans.<\/p>\n<p>ARTICLE 19 warned that these developments point to a \u201cpattern of excessive force and shrinking civic space.\u201d The group also noted growing intimidation of journalists, including France 24 reporter M\u2019ma Camara, who faced online harassment after covering a PDCI event in June, allegedly orchestrated by political actors.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22484\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22484\" style=\"width: 1248px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22484\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Alassane_Ouattara_-_2024_cropped.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1248\" height=\"1871\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-22484\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Allasan Oqatara<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Labour rights defenders have also been targeted.

Banning protests and punishing protesters violates C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire\u2019s own constitution and regional commitments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The organisation urged the government to end all forms of harassment against journalists, political actors, and civil society, and to respect fundamental freedoms in line with the African Charter on Democracy, Elections and Governance and the ECOWAS Protocol on Democracy and Good Governance.<\/p>\n<p>ARTICLE 19 concluded by stressing that respect for human rights and rule of law is essential to ensuring peaceful, credible, and violence-free elections on 25 October.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Source\u00a0: expressnewsghana.com<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire prepares for its presidential \u00a0elections on 25 October 2025, international free speech watchdog ARTICLE 19 has called on authorities to uphold democratic [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":22482,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22480","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-africa-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
