A Senegalese court has sentenced three TikTok influencers to prison for posts that allegedly insulted President Bassirou Diomaye Faye.
The three influencers work with an online content platform. Some observers say the platform’s content is favourable towards former Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, the leader of the PASTEF party.
The most severe sentence was handed to Mandoumbe Diop, known online as Lamignou Darou. He was sentenced to three months in prison without suspension.
Diop is the most followed of the three influencers, with more than 500,000 followers on TikTok. His videos regularly attract tens of thousands of views.
Two other Feenal Digital creators, Magueye Diaw, known as Oustaz Thiep, and Moustapha Ndiaye, known as Ndiaye Touba, were each sentenced to two months in prison without suspension.
They were also fined 500,000 CFA francs each, an amount equivalent to around $800, according to their lawyer, Africanews reported.
The three influencers were represented by lawyer Abdy Nar Ndiaye, who argued that their TikTok videos were comedic and did not justify criminal prosecution.
