ABIDJAN (Reuters) - Authorities in Ivory Coast must put an end to what Amnesty International claims is a wave of arbitrary arrests and abuse targeting opposition supporters in the run-up to a presidential election later this month, the rights campaigner said on Monday.

Ivorians go to the polls on Oct. 25 in the first presidential vote since a post-election civil war killed over 3,000 people in 2011.
