Description
Jailed opposition leader Ousmane Sonko's lawyers plan to "appeal" his rejection by Senegal's Constitutional Council for running in next month's presidential vote. Speaking at a press conference, his legal team says that the rejection is "unfounded" and will be appealed.
The 49-year-old, who came third in the 2019 presidential election, has been at the centre of a bitter stand-off with the state that has lasted more than two years and sparked often deadly unrest. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
