Authorities in Burkina Faso have arrested three former ministers from the government of deposed dictator Blaise Compaore, their party said Tuesday, claiming "harassment" by the current rulers.
Former interior minister Jerome Bougouma, infrastructure minister Jean-Bertin Ouedraogo and mining minister Salif Kabore "have been arrested", Leonce Kone, from Compaore's formerly ruling CDP party, told AFP.
Two security sources confirmed the arrests, which took place Monday and Tuesday, but did not give details.
