On March 25, 2024, Habib Marouane Camara, a columnist with Djoma TV, was suspended for three months after the High Authority for Communication (HAC) ruled that his remarks were defamatory. The suspension followed a complaint by Guinea’s Minister of Transport and government spokesperson, Ousmane Gaoual Diallo, who claimed that Camara’s comments had harmed his reputation.
Critics argue that the decision was made without granting Camara a fair opportunity to defend himself, raising concerns about press freedom and the impartiality of the HAC. The suspension adds to a growing pattern of media repression in Guinea, where journalists continue to face increasing restrictions under the current government.
