Tensions are rising in Togo following the arrest of Dr. Firmin Hounou-Adossi during a protest last Friday in Lomé.

He and others were detained while demanding improved conditions for health professionals across the country.

On Monday, fellow health workers staged fresh demonstrations, calling for his immediate release and denouncing what they describe as unjust treatment.

The protests highlight growing frustration within the medical community over unmet demands and government response.
