Burkina Faso's interim parliament voted Tuesday to bar figures linked to deposed president Blaise Compaore from running for office, hours after several of the toppled leader's allies were arrested. Compaore was ousted in October, 2014 after violent public reaction to extend his 27-year reign by amending the constitution.
