Case of the 19 Police Students: The Supreme Court's Decision Against the State of Senegal

The Supreme Court suspended the dismissal of 19 police students, finding that the reasons provided by the Minister of the Interior raised serious doubts about the legality of his decision. The students, represented by their lawyers, contested their dismissal for irregular absence and violation of internal regulations, arguing that it caused them serious harm. The ministerial decision, issued in May 2026, was deemed to lack proper formalities.
