Senegal: MPs adopt amnesty law in the midst of a political crisis. Parliamentarians approved by 94 votes for and 49 against this text decried by its detractors as sheltering the perpetrators of serious acts, including homicides.
The amnesty for facts linked to the political unrest of the last three years is one of the elements of President Macky Sall's response to the crisis caused by the postponement of the presidential election that he decided to call off on March 4. Senegalese deputies adopted an amnesty law for acts linked to political violence in recent years.
