  The lawyers of Lat Diop, former minister and director-general of La Lonase, are preparing a media offensive to denounce what they consider as a judicial harassment against their client, reports L’Observateur.

Deploring also a media lynching, his lawyers have seized the bâtonnier, Me Aly Fall, to obtain the authorization to hold a press conference. Their objective: to inform public opinion and restore balance in the handling of this case, while guaranteeing a measured and responsible communication, indique le quotidien du Groupe futurs médias.
