Ousmane Sonko denounces the “small” sentences recently handed down by judges

Like Ameth Ndoye, sentenced to a 15-day prison sentence, several people have recently benefited from the “clemency” of judges. Which is not to the taste of Ousmane Sonko, who, like several of his relatives and activists, experienced months of prison during the reign of Macky Sall.

During the campaign for the legislative elections, the leader and head of the Pastef list denounced this indulgence of the Senegalese justice system. “When we were incarcerated, when we were being beaten, no bureaucrat moved a single finger (…) Some clearly transgressed the law in full view of everyone, others, who should have been condemned for at least 6 months or a year, were only for 10 or 15 days This promotes impunity in a country”, denounced the Prime Minister yesterday at the Rond-Point of the École normale supérieure in the context. of the electoral campaign for the Legislative elections of November 17.

Ousmane Sonko also sent a message to the police. “They must be forces of interposition and anticipation to ward off and arrest all the people who have weapons and who incite violence. They know where these people are, they must react,” he added.
