Former Ivory Coast defence minister Moise Lida Kouassi was released Tuesday after being detained since August for alleged acts of terrorism, his political party said.
The release of Kouassi, who served as defence minister under former president Laurent Gbagbo, "is a relief", Sebastien Dano Djedje, executive president of the opposition African Peoples' Party (PPA-CI), told AFP, adding: "But his health is not good."
Kouassi was charged in August and placed in pre-trial detention notably for "acts of terrorism", along with 10 other people, ahead of the October presidential election.
He was accused of being the instigator of violence that broke out in early August in Abidjan.
According to Djedje, other party members are still in prison. Several dozen activists from opposition parties, including some senior officials, were also arrested or jailed ahead of the election.
On Monday digital activist Ibrahim Zigui, who has ties to the opposition and is a PPA-CI supporter, was released from custody on appeal after being jailed for five years for "incitement to insurrection".

This text appears to be an aggregation of factual reporting, likely compiled from multiple sources or wire services, characterized by direct attribution and a lack of synthesized opinion.

Signals Detected
low severity: Sentence length variance is natural; text flows directly from one factual point to the next without forced rhythm.
low severity: The flow is purely expository, listing facts and attributed statements without injecting subjective passion or opinion.
low severity: The structure mimics standard news reporting (Who, What, When, Context) with direct attribution from named sources (PPA-CI official, activist).
low severity: The text is a compilation of disparate facts/headlines, typical of wire reporting or news aggregators, which generally does not feature the smooth fabrication characteristic of LLMs.
Human Indicators
Use of direct quotes attributed to named individuals (Djedje) and specific organizational entities (PPA-CI).
The embedded juxtaposition of related but unrelated news snippets suggests a compilation format rather than a single narrative generation.
