A lawyer for six local opposition party officials jailed last year said they were freed on Monday following a hearing of the anti-terrorism chamber in Abidjan.
“[The] PDCI activists ... have been released after nine months in detention and are finally returning home," lawyer Ange Rodrigue Dadje wrote on Facebook.
He declined to say on what grounds they had been freed.
In May, two other local officials from the PDCI (Democratic Party of Ivory Coast), were also released.
The eight, all party members in Abidjan, were arrested between late September and early October 2025, in the run-up to the presidential vote.
