Larry has been doing his job as an engaged reporter with diligence and must be released immediately.

We at Mimi Mefo Info stand for press freedom as we understand the slippery political atmosphere in the country which makes it unsafe for reporters.

If you target journalists, who will be society’s watchdog?
