As Senegalese security forces sought to quell protests in February after the postponement of the presidential election, CPJ documented how at least 25 journalists reporting in the capital, Dakar, were physically attacked, briefly detained, targeted with tear gas, or harassed by police.
In response, CPJ has assembled recommendations for journalists working in Senegal, including how to prepare for and respond to tear gas, internet shutdowns, and arrest or detention.
