\u201cAfter the Senegalese Ministry of the Interior confirmed nine deaths in the protests on 1 June, I made a request to the chief prosecutor of the ICC, Karim Khan, to make a preliminary investigation into the alarming situation in Senegal and about these losses of human lives,\u201d Toure\u0301 stated on her social media handles.<\/p>\n

The latest demonstrations occurred after a Senegalese court sentenced Sonko to two years in prison on Thursday for \u201ccorruption of youth\u201d, as part of a trial for alleged rape and death threats against a woman, charges of which he was eventually acquitted. Subsequently, violent clashes broke out in the capital, Dakar, and Ziguinchor where Sonko is mayor.<\/p>\n
