Cheikh Oumar Anne confirmed that Madiambal Diagne is currently in the premises of Urban Security. “He is inside, accompanied by his lawyers, and is being interviewed,” he said. Coming to support Madiambal Diagne, Cheikh Oumar Anne, deputy and member of the “New Responsibility”, denounced what he describes as “harassments carried out by the regime in place against its opponents”. “Madiambal has long been committed to freedom of expression and human rights in Senegal. We cannot tolerate dissenting voices being silenced by threats and intimidation. These practices are doomed to failure,” he added. He also pointed the finger at Ousmane Sonko, whom he accuses of being at the origin of the summons of Madiambal Diagne: “We call on Ousmane Sonko to put an end to this relentlessness. The Bassirou Diomaye regime is trying to impose silence on the Senegalese, which we categorically refuse.” The former Minister of Higher Education called for the unity of democratic and political forces to defend democracy in Senegal.
