Description
Demonstrators gather in front of the Maison de la presse in Dakar to demand the release of Senegalese journalist Pape Alé Niang, who has been in detention for the past two weeks, for the second time, for "information likely to harm the national defense". The head of the news website Dakar Matin has begun a second hunger strike since his judicial supervision was revoked on December 20 and is in the hospital. The director of Reporters Without Borders in West Africa expressed concern that "press freedom" in Senegal is "in danger" and "threatened". IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
