Two French people are among several arrested in the Indian Ocean island nation on Tuesday “as part of an investigation for undermining state security”.
In a statement on Wednesday night, prosecutor Berthine Razafiarivony said “Several foreign and Madagascar nationals were arrested on Tuesday, July 20, as part of an investigation into an attack on state security.
“At this stage of the investigation, which is ongoing, the prosecutor-general’s office assures we will shed light in on this case.”
