Senegal: Sonko supporters barricade streets around his home as trial goes ahead

Description

Supporters set up barricades to block the road to opposition leader Ousmane Sonko’s house in Ziguinchor, his hometown. This as his trial on alleged rape charges gets underway in Dakar, without him. He also refused to attend on the original start date of the trial on May 16, which was adjourned because he was a no-show. IMAGES
