No more political gatherings allowed in Antsahamanitra from now on

The ruling power might have refrained from bluntly imposing any ban, but Antananarivo City’s police forces requires accurate reports concerning every gathering, cultural or not, to be held inside Antsahamanitra. The police forces clearly suggested Parson Dinand Rarivoson, the place’s manager, to comply. Actually, state policemen arrested him on his way to Majunga (West), following a recent religious gathering held in Antsahamanitra and attended by the former president’s wife Lalao Ravalomanana. Henceforth, every meeting expected to be held inside this fenced private property, namely belonging to the Union of Malagasy Protestant Church (FFPM), will have to expect authorization from the police forces. A growing number of political groups have been choosing this place to prompt gatherings, namely since the “Place of Democracy” was locked by security forces in 2009, merely some months after serving Andry Rajoelina’s rise from the capital city hall to the transitional leadership
