Nourah Ba case: Supplementary judgment, revelations about the document rattling civil registration

In Senegal, a supplementary judgment can allow a birth certificate to be issued when a birth was not registered on time, following judicial review and witness testimony. The certificate can then be used to obtain identity documents and a passport. The document is central to the case involving influencer Mariama Ba, known as Nourah Ba, who was arrested after posts deemed insulting and placed in pretrial detention after a judicial investigation was opened. She denies the allegations, including forgery and use of forged identity documents; requests were reportedly sent to the town hall in Nguidilé.
