 The United Nations Saturday was deeply content by developing the human rights situation in Senegal and sees a dark precedent in the use of firearms by security forces against demonstrators. From June 1 to 3, Senegal was in the grip of its worst unrest in years following the sentencing of opposition politician Usman Sonko to two years' imprisonment in a vice scandal. The announcement of the sentence triggered violence that officially left 16 people dead, but Amnesty International puts the death toll at 23. As it stands, Mr. Sonko, a popular figure among young people and underprivileged, can no longer roam for precedency. He cries conspiracy to eliminate him politically. So you get notified about fresh news updates.
