JAMRA legal involvement in Senegal case

Overview

The Islamic NGO JAMRA became involved in a legal case in Senegal concerning allegations of homosexual activities. Initially, the organization issued a statement of support for its vice-president Mame Makhtar Guèye and his daughter, Fatou Binetou Guèye, who faced criminal charges. During this period, the NGO denied that the specific charges included accusations of lesbianism or homosexuality, while calling for calm and supporting the ongoing police and judicial investigations.

Following a court decision to dismiss charges against 28 individuals involved in the case, JAMRA clarified its role. The organization stated that its involvement was that of a whistleblower, and that its responsibility concluded once it submitted its own investigative findings to the gendarmerie. While the charges were dismissed, JAMRA maintained its commitment to advocating for social values and the protection of youth under Senegalese law.
