Amnesty Senegal’s Executive Director, Seydi Gassama, denounces the continued imprisonment of candidate Bassirou Diomaye Faye while his presidential opponents are meeting with voters as part of the electoral campaign. “There is no free and democratic election when a serious candidate is arbitrarily held in prison and prevented from speaking to the media and meeting with voters. Even his representatives are prevented from occupying his airtime on public television,” he wrote immediately.
According to the human rights defender, Bassirou Diomaye Faye does not need an amnesty law to be free. “The justice system has ways and means to allow him to regain his freedom, as it has done for the hundreds of political prisoners released in recent weeks,” he added.
