Senegal’s jailed opposition leader announced Tuesday that he resumed hunger strike as an “act of solidarity” to his “courageous patriotic sisters.”
The announcement comes at a time when a group of female prisoners tied to PASTEF have been on hunger strike over a week. They are denouncing ‘abusive detention conditions’ at Camp Pénal detention centre in Dakar.
Ousman Sonko also cited his ‘illegal imprisonment,’ describing it as “politically motivated.”
