Togo leader's sister-in-law arrested after calling for end to family rule

Togo leader's sister-in-law, critical of family rule, arrested for allegedly inciting military rebellion. Marguerite Gnakadé, ex-defence minister, had called for Gnassingbé's resignation amid protests against the six-decade dynasty. Arrested in Lomé, Gnakadé faces serious charges, including links to exiled opposition forces and attempts to disrupt armed forces. Demands for her release have emerged from opposition parties and civil society groups, with a youth movement issuing a 72-hour ultimatum for her freedom.
