The third is called Thierno Ousmane Diallo, he was 21 years old and he was fatally hit by a blunt weapon. The prosecutor did not just provide a report, he announced that the Dixinn prosecutor’s office had been seized for the opening of an investigation.
The prosecution must take care of another file. Last week, a video caused a scandal in the country. It showed a man in civilian clothes armed with a PMAK (a Kalashnikov submachine gun, editor’s note), traveling in a car without a license plate. The images would have been shot on May 10 during the demonstration, in the Cosa district. The man, in jeans, a white t-shirt and sunglasses, speaks with police in riot gear.
