Dérives sur TikTok : un militant « Nationaliste » condamné
The Pikine-Guédiawaye court of summary jurisdiction has ruled in the case between two activists from opposing political camps. Ch. Ndiaye, an active supporter of the Nationalists party (close to Tahirou Sarr), was convicted following a violent TikTok live stream directed at A. Djiba, alias Sanka, an activist with Pastef.
During the live broadcast, as detailed by L'Observateur, which attended the hearing, the defendant appeared brandishing a knife while uttering hateful and intimidating remarks. In court, Ch. Ndiaye attempted to downplay the incident, claiming he was simply cutting a watermelon and that his words were merely "jokes" among his followers. He even went so far as to accuse the plaintiff of orchestrating a "mob vendetta" by making the video go viral.
The prosecutor's scathing indictment of online hate
The prosecution refused to accept this line of defense, emphasizing the climate of digital tension that is poisoning Senegalese political debate. To illustrate the danger of such rhetoric, the prosecutor recalled the recent murder in France of Baba Abdoulaye Diop (known as Guélewar), a Pastef activist stabbed to death by an individual also claiming to be part of the nationalist movement.
Although the prosecution initially requested a six-month prison sentence, with three months to be served, the court handed down a six-month sentence, with one month to be served, after finding him guilty of making death threats and public insults. Ndiaye, a cameraman by profession, will also have to pay the costs associated with the legal proceedings, concludes the newspaper of the Future Media Group.
