Menaces de mort contre Babacar Fall : le SYNPICS condamne, exige sa protection et réclame justice
The Union of Information and Communication Professionals of Senegal (SYNPICS) has condemned in the strongest terms the death threats against RFM journalist Babacar Fall.
Since the broadcast of an RFM Matin program in which religious leader Serigne Abdou Sy was the guest, the journalist has been the target of a wave of repeated insults and threats.
In response to this situation, the National Executive Bureau of SYNPICS published an official statement to vehemently denounce these "liberticidal actions".
“SYNPICS condemns these attacks on freedom of expression in the strongest possible terms and reiterates that journalists must not be subjected to threats, intimidation, or pressure simply for doing their job. Freedom of the press, guaranteed by the Constitution, is a cornerstone of the rule of law and democracy. It must not be held hostage by intimidation tactics targeting media professionals with the aim of silencing them or damaging their integrity,” the document states.
Given the seriousness of the situation, the union is directly appealing to state authorities and demanding immediate measures to guarantee the safety and physical integrity of Babacar Fall. It is also calling for an investigation to identify the perpetrators of these attacks and bring them to justice.
SYNPICS calls upon all social and political actors to act responsibly and respect republican principles, freedom of expression, and the right to information. The union reaffirms its full solidarity with Babacar Fall and warns that it will remain uncompromising in the face of any attempt at intimidation targeting the profession.

Chaque année c’est la même rengaine pour sujet qui, non seulement n’intéresse personne et pire crée des tensions familiales. Qu’il soit à équidistance en donnant le droit de réponse à l’autre partie au moins. C’est pas correct ce qu’il fait.
Et puis ce problème familiale ne nous intéresse pas! Voilà un journaliste paresseux qui nous sort le même sujet à chaque Gamou et depuis combien de temps maintenant ??!!!
