“The fact that journalist Pape Alé Niang is no longer in a jail cell in #Senegal is small relief given the stifling bail conditions placed on him,” said @angelaquintal, @CPJAfrica program coordinator.

“[#Senegal] authorities must combat the erosion of Senegal’s democracy by dropping all legal proceedings against Pape Alé Niang & reforming the country’s laws to ensure journalism is not criminalized,” said @angelaquintal, @CPJAfrica program coordinator.

On Dec. 14, a Senegalese investigative judge released Papé Ale Niang, director of the privately owned Dakarmatin, on bail, but seized his passport and barred him from traveling internationally or speaking publicly about his case, Ciré Clédor Ly, one of Niang’s lawyers, told CPJ.
#Senegal: Papé Ale Niang’s release follows his hunger strike that began on December 2 and ended December 14, as well as protests by local journalists at the National Assembly on December 12.
#Senagal: Papé Ale Niang appeared on CPJ’s 2022 prison census of journalists detained in connection with their work because he remained behind bars as of December 1, the census date.
