«Un véritable coup K.O…» : La réaction de Me Moussa Diop à sa sortie de la sûreté urbaine
Moussa Diop, who complied with the police summons this Monday, was released from the urban security headquarters. The lawyer, leader of Ag-Jotna, reacted after his hearing. He explained that his summons stemmed from his statements made on Monday, March 2nd, on the Quartier Général television program. There, he had discussed "the reasons for the reversal (wax waxett) of Pastef party leader Ousmane Sonko's position on the criminalization of homosexuality." He added that Sonko had chosen to involve the Public Prosecutor to summon him.
“I didn’t choose to flee to my home region like him, but to present myself out of respect for the justice system. By attacking a lawyer well-versed in procedure and well-assisted by his experienced colleagues, Mr. El Hadj Diouf, Mr. Seyni Ndione, Mr. Sayba Danfakha, and Mr. Babou, Mr. Sonko learned the hard way about the manifestly flawed procedure. A real knockout blow. I’m returning home after being arbitrarily detained from noon to 8 p.m. at the central police station in Dakar,” he reacted on Facebook. He thanked the President of the Senegalese Bar Association, who, he said, called for respect for the law.
As a reminder, while their client was at the police station, Moussa Diop's lawyers clarified that no lawyer can be summoned by the police. They stated that only a magistrate appointed by the Attorney General can question a lawyer as part of a preliminary investigation. "Article 46 is very clear. Today, the rights of a lawyer registered in France have been violated. Moussa Diop enjoys the same rights, the same protection, and the same jurisdictional privileges as lawyers registered with the Dakar Bar Association, in accordance with the judicial convention between Senegal and France," El Hadji Diouf emphasized.
