Affaire Pape Cheikh Diallo : Me Souleymane Soumaré explique pourquoi les 28 personnes ont été libérées malgré l’appel du parquet
The 28 people implicated in the Pape Cheikh Diallo case have been released after the investigating judge of the first chamber of the Pikine-Guédiawaye High Court granted a complete dismissal of charges. The public prosecutor, Saliou Dicko, has appealed this decision.
But why did the accused leave prison despite the prosecutor's appeal? Lawyer Souleymane Soumaré provides details on this situation.
According to the lawyer, a distinction must be made between a complete dismissal of charges and provisional release. "When the investigating judge issues a decision of complete dismissal for individuals who were charged with an offense, the prosecutor's appeal does not keep them in prison," he explains.
In other words, the prosecutor's appeal does not, in this specific case, suspend the effects of the dismissal. The individuals concerned can therefore be released immediately, pending the appeals court's ruling on the prosecutor's appeal.
Mr. Soumaré emphasizes this distinction: "Those who have benefited from a complete dismissal of charges are immediately released from prison while awaiting the appeal court's decision."
The lawyer points out, however, that the situation is different when it comes to provisional release. In this case, the prosecutor's appeal has a different effect and prevents the release from becoming effective.
"This is different from the case of a provisional release decision. It is only for a provisional release that the prosecutor's appeal neutralizes the release," he explains.
Thus, according to this legal interpretation, the release of the 28 people stems directly from the nature of the investigating judge's decision: a complete dismissal of the case, not simply provisional release. The appeals court will now have to rule on the prosecution's appeal.
