du Jour”, which has been suspended since September 1997.
According to RSF’s information, after an interview he gave to the French
radio station Fréquence Paris Plurielle on Sunday 23 May 1999, police
officers visited the journalist’s residence in Douala. The men asked to see
the journalist and left after having interrogated several family members.
Aimé Mathurin Moussy arrived in France on 22 May and must return to Cameroon
on the 27th of this month.
