Expected to finally hear the verdict in the case that has kept him in detention, the defendant left the courtroom empty-handed.
The Court postponed its decision to Monday, June 2, 2025, thus extending both the anticipation and Amoussou’s detention.
As a reminder, Steve Amoussou, believed to be the outspoken figure known as Brother Hounvi, was abducted in Lomé and placed in custody in Benin on charges of electronic harassment.
