Ouagadougou, December 13, 2023 : It is today 25 years since the voice of investigative journalist Norbert Zongo was brutally silenced. Despite all these years, the quest for justice for this cowardly assassination remains unsolved. The recent decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union to block the extradition procedure of the alleged culprit exiled in France, is an unfortunate symbol of the persistent obstacles in this quest for justice.
