Authorities in central Somalia have arrested a radio journalist for spreading ‘false news’, an international media watchdog said. Mohamed Abdiwali Tohow was detained over a report he filed for the Mogadishu-based Radio Kulmiye, said the US-based Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), quoting the station’s director.
