Yet another suicide attempt by an inmate of the Thiès Detention and Correctional Center (Mac). Alioune Diallo, a guide of Sheikh tried to commit suicide by drinking bleach. He is under observation.
The unlimited hunger strike of Cheikh Béthio Thioune's disciples, detained at the Mac in Thiès as part of the case of the double murder of Médinatoul Salam, turns to drama. Alioune Diallo tried to commit suicide yesterday, Tuesday, drinking bleach. He was admitted to the infirmary of the Mac Thies, where he is under observation, pending his evacuation. And the detainee is a boarder in the Great Court, Room 4. According to a source contacted by Senego, the detainees have long alerted, knocking on the door of the room, so that the guards can evacuate their comrade in distress to the infirmary. Remember that Tuesday, November 27, another Thiantacoune detainee, Mamadou Anne, had also wanted to end his life. Currently isolated in the infirmary, he would have declined all care. He would be in critical condition. The hunger strikers are clamoring for their trial. They have been on a hunger strike since last Monday. In pre-trial detention since 2016, the Thiantacounes have been imprisoned in connection with the double murder of Medinatoul Salam in Mbour, for criminal conspiracy, receiving a corpse, burial without authorization and no report of a crime. Their guide, Sheikh Béthio Thioune, was able to obtain temporary freedom …
A file that politics
According to the hunger strikers, "this issue has become very political". Thus, having observed a diet for more than a week in June, these 9 Thiantacounes decided to play their last cards. After the firm promises of the authorities to hold their trial, they agreed to stop their strike slogan last June. The Minister of Justice, Pr Ismaïla Madior Fall, had even announced "the availability of funds for the trial of Thiantacounes". But since then, a lot of water has flowed under the bridge without any trial. Worse, these Thiantacounes detainees have the impression of "being dropped by the guide of Thiantacounes who never makes a case of our detention in the house of arrest and correction of Thiès".
Just recently, the Minister of Justice, Ismaila Madior Fall announced again soon, the holding of the trial of Thiantacounes, with the opening of the Criminal Chamber of the High Court of Mbour. "In this case, Thies was to recognize it. The facts happened in Mbour, which depended on Thies. In the meantime, I installed the Tribunal de Grande instance de Mbour, which will soon inaugurate its Criminal Chamber. And this case will be evoked, "he revealed, in a television show Interpellé on the temporary liberty granted to the leader of the Thiantacounes, Serigne Bethio Thioune, while his followers languish in prison, the Minister of Justice announced that there has other criteria and that often, one of the criteria is to see the level of involvement of people.
