Madagascar whistleblower Thomas Razafindremaka sentenced to two years in prison

On the Big Island, whistleblower Thomas Razafindremaka was sentenced to two years in prison on Monday November 20 by the Antananarivo criminal court. This famous defender of local communities in the Ihorombe region in the south of the country is being prosecuted in particular for fraud and usurpation of title. Civil society, which had already called for all charges against this activist to be dropped, points to an intimidation tactic.
