The president of the parliamentary group Birame Souleye Diop has been charged with acts likely to compromise public peace and with insulting the head of state. He was recently arrested for comments he made. During a press conference organized by the Yewwi Askan Wi group, Guy Marius Sagna denounced the circumstances of their colleague’s arrest and spoke of misuse of procedure.
“A scandalous element concerns our colleague Birame Souleye Diop, who is currently in prison. He posted a video apologizing. This disparity in treatment is unacceptable. We cannot accept that everyone who supports the president and calls for public insurrection is free as the air. This is unacceptable. We protest once morest this injustice. He is remanded in custody and an investigation will be conducted. “What investigation are they going to carry out? Are they looking for accomplices to find? It’s not regarding drugs,” he said.

Deputy Guy Marius Sagna believes that it is scandalous, a misuse of procedure. “It’s just to keep him in prison as long as possible. What was done in Birame is dangerous, no Senegalese is safe. We denounce this situation, it is illegal. Birame’s rights have been violated. Article 51 is trampled on. We call on the defense and security forces to react,” he said, adding that they miss President Birame Souleye and that they have also submitted a request for the immediate release of their colleague to the National Assembly.
“This has to stop. The regulations and the Constitution must be respected. This 14th legislature has suffered enormously”, denounces Guy Marius Sagna.
