The Notepad By Abdou GNINGUE Scramble At The Temple Of Themis

With a number of trials scheduled, Senegal's justice system won't be sitting still at the beginning of 2023. This guarantees the employment of our colleagues who oversee the judicial sections of the media.

They will be required to provide highly competent hearing reports. In a court of law, nobody is actually interested in the journalistic viewpoint.

They are required to abide by the laws of the industry as outlined in their deontology and ethics. The requirement for impartiality must always exist, and the accused is always entitled to the benefit of the doubt until the verdict has been rendered.

A legal column's animation is not given to just anyone. Because of this, it is advised in these situations to have a solid command of the legalese in order to better inform the populace.

It's time for those assigned to follow these various trials to get acquainted with criminal law experts and review some of the nuances of the law, which is not an exact science as everyone is aware. There is constant debate surrounding interpretations of this topic, which is frequently driven by laypeople or subject-matter experts.

every specialty except for the few. Nothing! It is because of this confusion that pointless conversations start, which frequently escalate into needless violence.

Ousmane Sonko, the leader of PASTEF, and Minister mame mbaye niang are the parties to the first trial that has been made public. The latter alleges that mame mbaye niang was singled out in a PRODAC report written by the General State Inspectorate while he was Minister in charge of this organization.

The reason the Minister served him a direct quote is something he categorically denied. On February 2, a trial will be held in this case.

The second trial, which is still involving Ousmane Sonko, is connected to Mrs. Dot Adji Sarr's complaint, in which she accuses the PASTEF leader of alleged rape and threats to kill her. Judge Ameth Sy, who had previously presided over the Rufisque District Court for a considerable amount of time, was sent the case for judgment by the Dean of Judges, Oumar Maham Diallo.

The trial that everyone is most afraid of is the one that the Senegalese have been anticipating since 2021. Following the transmission of his dismissal to the Criminal Chamber by the Dean of the Judges, whom he now views as "a political adversary," the leader of PASTEF stated that he is prepared for resistance in accordance with the Constitution. He made this statement during a press conference following the announcement of his dismissal before the Criminal Chamber of the Dakar court. The journalist Cheikh Yerim Seck also runs the risk of being sued by the leader of PASTEF, Ousmane Sonko, who felt def.

He would have received a straight quote from Ousmane Sonko. A book that tells us about Macky SALL raises the question of why the private life of a citizen has to be revealed.

Furthermore, as my friend Professor Lat Soukabe Mbow so eloquently puts it, "The author of a publication which exposes the private lives of others cannot expect from them reactions inspired by serenity or based on objectivity. sheikh yerim seck should reflect on these statements because they will likely result in a number of complaints similar to the one the leader of Pastef made. This is because there have been a variety of responses to his writing, some of which have been harsh and violent.

The nation holds its breath when it is announced that we may experience what occurred in March 2021 after Ousmane Sonko was summoned, followed by a demonstration that resulted in 14 fatalities. Clearly, this first quarter of 2023 runs the risk of being a little too judicial. The spread of these rumors must be prevented because nobody wins; on the contrary, Senegal will leave its feathers there.

Self-proclaimed advocates for human rights ought to take a stand and urge restraint. I challenge my friend and former classmate at Lycée Gaston Berger (currently Lycée Valdiodio Ndiaye in Kaolack), Alioune Tine, to spearhead a campaign of deterrence among young people so that they maintain their composure during and after all these announced trials.

The street is not where their future lies. To become emotional, you don't need to wait for riots.

Isn't it Seydi Gassama, Moundiaye Cissé, and the other members of the self-declared Civil Society? We need to act right away rather than waiting until later to take back the Jehovah's Witnesses. Abdou GNINGUE, journalist, a resident of the countryside.
