Convocation de Me Moussa Diop à la SU : La défense bloque la procédure
Summoned this Monday at 10 a.m. to the urban security unit (SU) of the central police station in Dakar, lawyer Moussa Diop, a member of the Paris bar, remains at the police station. No decision has yet been made regarding his case.
According to his lawyers, Ousseynou Babou (from the Paris bar, who came specifically to defend his colleague), El Hadj Diouf, Seyni Dione and Sayba Danfakha, the summons of Me Diop violates the statutes of the lawyer who benefits from jurisdictional privileges.
“No lawyer can be summoned by the police. Only a magistrate appointed by the Attorney General can hear 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. Mr. 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,” Mr. El Hadj Diouf emphasized.
Consequently, the lawyers are demanding an immediate halt to the proceedings, which they describe as an insult to their colleague. Attorney Diouf asserts that the group of lawyers has contacted the Bar Association president, who, according to him, wrote to the police commissioner to remind him that Attorney Moussa Diop enjoys the same jurisdictional privileges as lawyers registered with the Dakar Bar.
