Agression de journalistes à Keur Massar : l’APPEL dénonce et exige des excuses publiques du maire Bilal Diatta
The Association of Online Press Professionals (APPEL) raised a strong protest this Sunday, September 28, 2025, against the attack on journalists by the mayor of Keur Massar, Bilal Diatta, during an eviction operation organized at the main roundabout in the town.
According to APPEL, reporters present to cover the event were subjected to verbal and physical abuse from the mayor and his agents. The organization deemed this situation "unacceptable," denouncing behavior "unworthy of Mr. Diatta's status as a political leader and mayor."
The press association emphasizes that this is not the first time the mayor of Keur Massar has been involved in such actions, believing that he is making a habit of it. "Journalists and media technicians are not targets to be intimidated but essential actors in the proper functioning of democracy," recalls the APPEL.
For the organization, information professionals "are neither pariahs nor outcasts" but actors who fulfill constitutional missions: guaranteeing the right to information and the freedom to inform.
Given the seriousness of the facts, APPEL warns that in the event of a repeat offense, it will immediately bring together the journalists who were attacked in order to file a complaint with the public prosecutor for violence, assault and attempted destruction of equipment.
In the immediate future, the association has three main demands:
The APPEAL concludes by reaffirming its vigilance and commitment to defending press freedom and protecting its members throughout the national territory.
