Mousa Mara was charged by a cybercrime judge with "undermining the credibility of the state and opposing legitimate authority". A former prime minister of Mali was charged Friday with "undermining the credibility of the state" following a social media post about his visits to political prisoners, a Bamako prosecutor said. Moussa Mara held the post of prime minister for a brief eight months from 2014 until 2015. He was previously summoned for questioning following a July 4 post on X in which he spoke of visiting the prisoners and promising to ensure them justice. Mara was charged Friday by a cybercrime judge with "undermining the credibility of the state and opposing legitimate authority", the prosecutor's office told AFP. He remains in jail with a trial scheduled for September 29. His lawyers condemned the proceedings in a statement and said they would have more to say soon.
