Senegal: investigation into alleged "unnatural acts" networks enters new phase
via SeneNews1 min read
The NGO Jamra announced a new judicial development in the coming days regarding alleged networks of individuals prosecuted for "unnatural acts." The organization stated that the senior investigating judge of the Pikine-Guédiawaye High Court conducted several "substantive hearings" as part of the judicial inquiry into the case. Jamra specifically named Kadiour Cissé, a journalist at 7TV, Pape Gaye Tall, a columnist at Kéwoulo TV, and Souleymane Fatou Ndao, a journalist at Malikia TV, as individuals heard by the investigating magistrate. The NGO also claims that over a hundred suspects have already been apprehended in this procedure and that the Keur Massar gendarmerie's Research Brigade might soon conduct a new wave of arrests before the case closes. A judicial inquiry was opened following an investigation led by the Pikine-Guédiawaye High Court prosecutor's office. Investigations are ongoing, and those named benefit from the presumption of innocence until a final judicial decision is rendered. Jamra commended this action as "public sanitation" and urged that justice be allowed to take its course.
