Mass arrests slow in Bamako as prisons fill

Mass arrests in Bamako have slowed significantly over the past two weeks, according to local journalists and anti-junta activists, who cite overcrowded prisons in the Malian capital as the reason. The junta has begun mass transfers of hundreds of prisoners to Kénioroba's prison to alleviate the congestion. The slowdown in arrests suggests the government's crackdown on dissent may be hitting logistical limits.
