For Di People is a Sierra Leonean Krio-language newspaper based in Freetown, Sierra Leone. It was founded in 1983 by Paul Kamara, who has served as its editor more or less continually since that date. Kamara and other staff have been threatened and imprisoned numerous times in the newspaper's history, most notably in a high-profile seditious libel case following a suggestion that President Ahmad Tejan Kabbah's 1968 conviction for fraud made him constitutionally ineligible for high office.

  • For Di People és un diari de Sierra Leone en publicat a Freetown (Sierra Leone). Va ser funda en 1983 per Paul Kamara, que ha estat el seu editor més o menys contínuament des d'aquesta data. Kamara i altres membres del personal han estat amenaçats i empresonats nombroses vegades en la història del diari, més notablement en un cas de difamació després d'un suggeriment que la condemna del president de 1968 pel frau el feia constitucionalment inelegible per l'alt càrrec. Kamara fou arrestat, l'equipament fou confiscat de les oficines del diari, inclòs el cotxe de Kamara, i el diari fou clausurat durant sis mesos. El 28 de juliol de 2005 el substitut de Kamara com a editor, , va morir a causa d'una pallissa ordenada per un membre del parlament. BBC News va descriure el cas de Kamara com un "gran interès públic amb motius de grups de drets dels mitjans de tot el món exigint el seu alliberament". El va fer una crida en nom de Kamara, igual que Reporters Sense Fronteres. El 30 de novembre de 2005, Kamara va guanyar un recurs contra la seva condemna i va ser alliberat. Després del seu alliberament, va dir als periodistes: "l'empresonament no ha trencat el meu esperit per publicar la veritat o defensar el dret de la gent a saber". (ca)
  • For Di People is a Sierra Leonean Krio-language newspaper based in Freetown, Sierra Leone. It was founded in 1983 by Paul Kamara, who has served as its editor more or less continually since that date. Kamara and other staff have been threatened and imprisoned numerous times in the newspaper's history, most notably in a high-profile seditious libel case following a suggestion that President Ahmad Tejan Kabbah's 1968 conviction for fraud made him constitutionally ineligible for high office. Kamara was arrested, equipment was confiscated from the newspaper offices, including Kamara's car, and the newspaper was shut down for six months. On 28 July 2005, Kamara's replacement as editor, Harry Yansaneh, died from a beating reportedly ordered by a member of parliament. BBC News described the case as sparking "wide public interest with pleas from media rights groups worldwide demanding his release". The Committee to Protect Journalists issued an appeal on Kamara's behalf, as did Reporters Without Borders. On 30 November 2005, Kamara won an appeal against his conviction and was freed. After his release, he told reporters, "imprisonment has not broken my spirit to publish the truth or stand for the people's right to know". (en)
