Seydi Gassama dénonce les allégations de Cheikh Yérim Seck sur l’usage de drones contre des manifestants
Seydi Gassama, executive director of Amnesty International Senegal, reacted strongly to the statements of journalist Cheikh Yérim Seck, who claimed that drones were used to fire on protesters in Senegal between March 2021 and February 2024. In a message published on X, Gassama described this theory as "contemptuous of the victims" and "insulting to the Senegalese defense and security forces."
The human rights defender denounced the irresponsibility of such accusations, which he deemed unfounded, and called on journalists to conduct rigorous investigations to identify those responsible, whether state or non-state, for these alleged drone strikes, rather than waiting for judicial inquiries.
As a reminder, during a broadcast on 7TV on Wednesday, Cheikh Yérim Seck maintained that "no person died from a bullet fired by Senegal's security and defense forces" during the demonstrations, adding that "some were killed by drones."
