Senegalese journalist René Capain Bassène was released this Tuesday following a presidential pardon, along with 104 other prisoners for various offenses.

‎

Sentenced to life imprisonment in the so-called Boffa-Bayotte case, René Capain Bassène was among those found guilty in this case related to the massacre that occurred in January 2018 in the classified forest of Bayotte, in Casamance.

‎

This release comes in a context marked by several presidential pardons granted to prisoners across the country.

At present, no detailed official statement has yet been made regarding the precise reasons that led to this decision concerning the journalist.

‎

The Boffa-Bayotte case remains one of the most sensitive legal cases in Senegal in recent years. The trial sparked numerous debates, particularly regarding the conditions of the investigation, the testimonies, and the sentences handed down.
