ANTANANARIVO (Reuters) - Madagascar police on Saturday fired teargas at supporters of ex-president Marc Ravalomanana, who was placed under house arrest this week after returning to the Indian Ocean island for the first time since he was deposed in a 2009 coup.
Authorities banned the planned rally but about 300 Ravalomanana supporters ignored the decree and clashed with the police in the capital Antananarivo where the former leader was arrested on Monday after arriving from exile in South Africa.
