An Ivory Coast TV programme presenter has been given a 12-month suspended prison sentence by an Abidjan court for “condoning rape”.
He was also fined 2m CFA francs ($3,600 £2,600).
Yves de Mbella hosted a show in which a convicted ex-rapist Kader Traoré demonstrated on a mannequin how he assaulted women.
De Mbella laughed and joked as he helped the man lay the dummy on the floor and pretend to rape it.
Nearly 50,000 people signed a petition in protest.
On Wednesday the court also sentenced Traoré to 24 months in jail and fined him 500,000 CFA francs for the same offences.
