Hundreds of Senegalese demonstrated in Paris on Saturday to Denounce President Macky Sall's attempts to run for a third term, claiming that democracy in Senegal is under threat. The demonstration was organised by the party of opposition figure Ousmane Sonko, and the participants claim that at least 102 of its members have been detained for crimes of opinion. Opponents and civil rights defenders claim that civil liberties in Senegal are coming under pressure in the run-up to the February 2024 presidential election.
