SENEGAL’S parliament has approved amendments to a law passed under former president Macky Sall that granted amnesty for offences committed during deadly opposition protests.
The law was passed in March 2024, shortly before the last presidential election, and granted amnesty for offences by both security forces and protesters during violent demonstrations between 2021 and 2024.
Amnesty International said that at least 65 people had been killed during the clashes.
