Babacar Ba appelle à la libération du journaliste Falil Gadio
The coordinator of the Forum of the Justiciable, Babacar Ba, called for the release of Senegal 7 journalist Falil Gadio, who has been in custody since Friday, February 6, 2026.
The journalist was arrested as part of the investigation launched after the broadcast of a vox pop containing remarks deemed to incite violence. His arrest follows the arrest of the person who made the statements, who called on unemployed youth to commit assaults.
According to Babacar Ba, Falil Gadio cannot be held responsible for these remarks. "The journalist Falil Gadio must be released. His intention was never to harm, but simply to fulfill his duty to inform. He cannot therefore be considered a willing accomplice," he declared.
The human rights advocate also called on the judicial authorities to address the treatment of media professionals. "We urge the judicial authorities to show tolerance towards journalists whose professionalism is proven," he concluded.
