The Franco-Spanish lawyer Juan Branco, known for having defended the current Senegalese Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, criticizes the inaction of the new Senegalese authorities. In a message published on X, he declares: “The new Senegalese authorities, requested, have never given instructions concerning the proceedings initiated before the ICC and in France concerning the sixty murders and several thousand crimes committed by the previous administration against their own people. I’m not sure. In June 2023, Branco had filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC), accusing former President Macky Sall and others responsible for “crimes against humanity” for the repression of demonstrations between March 2021 and June 2023, supported by a 170-page dossier containing 710 pieces of evidence.
