Coup d'État foiled in Benin: prosecutors seek five years in prison against a journalist

Prosecutors in Benin seek five‑year sentences for a journalist and a police officer accused of supporting the December 2025 attempted coup.

In Benin, the Special Public Prosecutor’s Office before the Court for the Repression of Economic and Terrorist Offenses (CRIET) has requested five years’ imprisonment for a journalist and a police officer charged with praising crimes against state security, incitement to hatred via the Internet, and incitement to rebellion in connection with the foiled coup d’état attempt of 7 December 2025. Both defendants were accused of statements and publications deemed supportive of the mutiny. The trial is ongoing, with the verdict expected at a hearing on March 24, 2026. This case forms part of a broader series of proceedings against individuals accused of promoting the failed coup.
