BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — Malian authorities arrested two prominent journalists in the past two days, the latest crackdown on freedom of expression by the West African country’s military leadership during a security crisis.

The “Maison de La Presse,” the main press association in Mali, said Tuesday that Abderhmane Keita was arrested on charges of “undermining national unity and the credibility of the State” and “dissemination of false and misleading information.”
