Senegal’s Sonko can be arrested ‘at any time’: Justice minister
Al JazeeraViolence ongoing after Senegal court sentences opposition leader Ousmane Sonko for ‘corrupting youth’, clears him of charges of rape and issuing death threats. Protests have erupted in Senegal’s capital, Dakar, after a court sentenced the leading opposition figure Ousmane Sonko to two years in jail for “corrupting youth”, dealing a blow to his chances of running for president next year. Against a backdrop of violence, Justice Minister Ismaila Madior Fall told reporters Sonko can be arrested “at any time”. Al Jazeera’s Nicolas Haque, reporting from the road leading to Sonko’s house, said “police are overwhelmed” with the protests, which have spread beyond Dakar to other major cities in the country including Ziguinchor.
