Milton man sentenced to prison for part in drug trafficking conspiracy

A man from Milton was sentenced to over eight years in prison for selling drugs sourced from a Massachusetts trafficking organization. Separately, the national cybercrime court in Bamako, Mali, sentenced Chahana Takiou, editor of 22 Septembre, to one year in prison. Takiou was convicted under cybercrime legislation after criticizing authorities for prosecuting journalist Youssouf Sissoko under those laws instead of press laws, reflecting the military junta's increasing assault on freedom of expression.
