The coordination of the Y movement is tired of calling for a general mobilization this Friday, 02 June 2023 afternoon throughout the country «to restore our democracy and the rule of law in compliance with the laws and regulations of our Constitution».
After his illegal and unjustified arrest, Aliou Sané, coordinator of the Y movement is fed up and vice coordinator of the F-24 National Living Forces Platform, faced the prosecutor yesterday, Thursday, June 1. The latter requested the opening of judicial information against him. In other words, it will be presented to an investigating judge today, Friday, June 2,” recalls the movement.
As demonstrated at the last press conference, the charges against him are «unfounded» and contrasted with the physical evidence including the video of his arrest. Yesterday was also marked by the verdict of the Criminal Chamber condemning the opponent Ousmane Sonko and Ms.Ndeye Khady Ndiaye to two years in prison, after disqualification from rape and death threats.
According to Y is fed up, this condemnation leaves no doubt on «the instrumentalization of justice for political purposes», which has generated violent demonstrations in Dakar and in several localities of the interior of the country during which at least nine (9) people were killed. Moreover, like all the living forces of the nation, the movement lends its full support to Ousmane Sonko in the face of this unacceptable injustice and this verdict of this judicial farce.
According to Aliou Sané’s comrades, the situation the country is going through is the sole responsibility of Macky Sall who, every day, takes actions that bring down the pillars of our fragile democracy. “Ban on F24 citizen dialogue, arbitrary arrests of activists and journalists, suspension of the signal of certain critical television stations, restriction of social networks, violent repression of demonstrators…” , they quote.
Therefore, the Y movement is tired of demanding the immediate release of its coordinator Aliou Sané, the arrested demonstrators and all political detainees, the immediate end of the violence of the defense and security forces on unarmed demonstrators, the lifting of the blockade of Ousmane Sonko’s house and the restoration of social networks and the signal of Walf TV.
