Senegal's opposition leader Ousmane Sonko hospitalized a week into prison hunger strike

  • Senegal's jailed opposition leader, Ousmane Sonko, who has been on a hunger strike to protest criminal charges against him, has been hospitalized for reasons yet to be determined.
  • Sonko was imprisoned last week in preparation for criminal proceedings relating to charges of incitement to insurrection and conspiracy against the state. He had previously been convicted in a separate case of corrupting youth.
  • Sonko's supporters believe that the charges against him are politically motivated efforts by the government to undermine his candidacy in the 2024 presidential election.
