Senegal civil society demands probe into assault on Babacar Ba

Senegalese civil society organizations are demanding an investigation following an alleged assault and death threats against Babacar Ba, a representative of the Forum du Justiciable. The incident reportedly occurred near the Hann Maristes roundabout.

Witnesses claim two individuals in a black Ford F-150 without license plates directed insults and death threats at the human rights activist. In response, Moundiaye Cissé of the NGO 3D condemned the incident and announced that Ba would file a formal complaint. Activists argue the attack is an attempt at intimidation and emphasize the need for authorities to protect citizens engaged in public debate.
