A court in Senegal has sentenced two lawmakers to six months in jail for assaulting a pregnant colleague during a parliamentary session.

January 2, 2023 9:39 PM

During a budget presentation on Thursday, Massata Samb, an opposition member of parliament, walked over and slapped Amy Gniby, a member of the ruling Benno Bokk Yakaar coalition.Samb was addressing the assembly about comments Gniby made over the weekend, in which the latter criticised a spiritual leader opposed to a third term for President Macky Sall.“Mister president, a deputy has stood in front of this tribune to insult someone’s marabout [spiritual leader],” said Samb.

The brawl escalated political tensions in Senegal that have gotten worse since the ruling party lost its majority in a July legislative election.
