Mbayang Diop: questions about her fate after nearly ten years of detention

Since June 2016, Mbayang Diop, a Senegalese woman, has been detained in Saudi Arabia, sentenced to death in April 2017 for murder. After nearly ten years in detention, her legal and diplomatic situation remains uncertain, with questions about possible appeals or negotiations. The initial mobilization in Senegal, including the hashtag #SauvonsMbayang, has waned, but the case remains a humanitarian and diplomatic concern. Senegalese authorities have not confirmed recent progress in handling the case.
