Atteinte \u00e0 la libert\u00e9 d\u2019expression pour les uns. Intervention salutaire de la justice face \u00e0 des propos tr\u00e8s diffamatoires, pour les autres.

Interpell\u00e9 d\u00e8s lundi par la division des investigations criminelles, l\u2019activiste Ba Diakhat\u00e9 s\u2019est attaqu\u00e9 \u00e0 Ousmane Sonko dans une vid\u00e9o. Dans des termes injurieux, il l\u2019accuse notamment d\u2019\u00eatre homosexuel. Le pr\u00eacheur Cheikh Ahmed Tidiane Ndao, qui lui a \u00e9t\u00e9 plac\u00e9 en garde \u00e0 vue mardi, est \u00e9galement accus\u00e9 de diffusion de fausse nouvelle et d\u2019offense \u00e0 l\u2019encontre du Premier ministre, apr\u00e8s la publication d\u2019une autre vid\u00e9o dans laquelle il reproche \u00e0 Ousmane Sonko d\u2019\u00eatre complaisant vis-\u00e0-vis de l\u2019homosexualit\u00e9. Le tout apr\u00e8s des d\u00e9clarations publiques d\u2019Ousmane Sonko sur le sujet, lors de la visite de l\u2019opposant de gauche Jean-Luc M\u00e9lenchon \u00e0 Dakar.<\/p>\n
Au S\u00e9n\u00e9gal, la diffamation et la diffusion de fausses nouvelles sont passibles de peines de prison. Dans les rangs de l\u2019opposition, nombreux sont ceux qui d\u00e9noncent cette arrestation et plaident pour pr\u00e9server la libert\u00e9 d\u2019un d\u00e9bat d\u00e9mocratique.<\/p>\n
Et de leur c\u00f4t\u00e9, les organisations de d\u00e9fense des droits de l\u2019homme comme Amnesty International appellent les autorit\u00e9s \u00e0 cesser les arrestations de personnes en cas de diffamation, quelle que soit la gravit\u00e9 des propos tenus, et \u00e0 d\u00e9p\u00e9naliser ces d\u00e9lits.<\/p>\n
