N’deye Penda Sadio, member of PASTEF Mermoz/Sacré-Cœur and sister of Lat Diop, has broken the silence around the detention of the latter since September 2024. In a public statement, she expressed her views on the controversies related to her request for provisional freedom. “As a Senegalese citizen, militant of PASTEF and sister of M. Lat Diop, I would like to express myself publicly on the situation of his detention since September 2024 and on his provisional freedom. Despite the political differences that separate us, he being from the APR and I engaged in PASTEF, I cannot remain silent in the face of controversies on his provisional freedom “, she affirmed. Recalling the attachment of his party to the principles of the rule of law, she insisted: ” Nous à PASTEF, nous avons toujours défendu la justice et les libertés individuelles. So these values must apply to everyone, even to our political adversaries. Justice has no party and must not depend on proximity to the power or the opposition. I’m not sure.
In the case of the former Soviet Union, this is the case.
