« Boucan au tribunal » : un supporter de Liss Ndiago insulte magistrats et policier
A fervent supporter of wrestler Liss Ndiago, identified as PD Thiam alias Babel, has been sentenced to three months in prison for rebellion, reports Le Soleil. The events date back to June 17, the day the wrestler was remanded in custody on charges of "criminal conspiracy" and "drug trafficking."
Present at the Pikine-Guédiawaye courthouse, the shopkeeper "caused a disturbance" after being warned by a police officer about parking in a "staff-only parking lot." Asked to remain calm, he flew into a rage, insulted Officer P. Sankaré, then "verbally attacked the judges and prosecutors," calling them "all sorts of names," before fleeing.
Arrested upon his return to court on September 7, he appeared in court on charges of "contempt of court and police officer," "resisting arrest," and "public insults." In the dock, the defendant contested the contempt charges and denied any "fierce resistance" during his arrest. He explained that he was "on edge" after having "spent the entire day at the courthouse."
While the prosecution is requesting a "deterrent sanction" of two years in prison, the defense, led by Makhfouss Thioye, argues that the case is empty and emphasizes that there was "a crazy crowd at the court" that day, before requesting acquittal.
In its ruling delivered on September 17, the court acquitted PD Thiam of the charges of public insult and defamation, but found him guilty of rebellion, the national daily concluded.
