Description
Senegal, touted as a "democratic model" in West Africa, is facing rising tensions, a year ahead of the presidential election. Several activists and members of the opposition are denouncing "a retreat from democracy" due to, among other things, "arbitrary arrests" and bans on demonstrations. As human rights organizations sound the alarm, the state says there is "no crisis" because judicial "channels and remedies" are available to Senegalese who feel aggrieved.
