#JusticePourAbdoulayeBa

Momar Assane called on President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, Ousmane Sonko, Me Matar Cissé, and the prosecutor of the Republic to shed light on the death of Abdoulaye Ba. He wrote that eight months had passed without the truth being established and that the family, relatives, and public opinion were awaiting answers. Assane reminded that Sonko had stated in the National Assembly that he was involved in the decision-making chain. He also indicated that the prosecutor had said at his last press conference that investigations were ongoing but regretted the lack of concrete actions since that announcement. He cited the statements of Makhtar Cissé, presented as the Minister of National Interior, on the respect of the law by the defense and security forces and the refusal to put the authority of the State at the service of particular interests. Assane believed that justice should be able to exercise its mission independently and promised to reiterate this requirement every 9th of the month until clear answers were obtained. #JusticePourAbdoulayeBa #Vérité #Sénégal (translated)
