Journalists and activists in Burkina Faso are facing intensified repression as their names appear on a government-issued list of individuals sought for alleged ties to terrorism. This move, framed as combating criminal associations, is widely viewed as a strategy to silence dissent and curb press freedom in the country.

The list, released by authorities, includes prominent critics of the current military-led administration, raising concerns about the erosion of democratic freedoms in Burkina Faso. Such actions underscore the growing threats to independent journalism and the safety of those who challenge the status quo.
