Two men have forced their way into the house of outspoken government critic Professor Selwyn Cudjoe, assaulting his sister and firing shots. The men made no attempt to rob the house, and Amnesty International believes the attack may have been politically motivated, intended to intimidate or harm Professor Cudjoe.
