The former mayor of Dakar and political leader Khalifa Ababacar Sall denounced Friday on his Facebook page the prolonged detention of Badara Gadiaga, which he described as “a fracture in the socle of the right”. In his post, Khalifa Sall estimates that “when the State fears words, it fears the truth. And the truth does not close itself. According to him, depriving the freedom of dissenting voices is tantamount to “dampening justice” and reducing the rule of law to “a deceptive façade”. It demands “the immediate release of Badara Gadiaga and all prisoners of opinion” and calls on the authorities to “strictly respect their rights”. Le chroniqueur Badara Gadiaga was placed in custody since Wednesday for “discourse contrary to good morals”.
