| Senegalese MPs are debating an amnesty bill which includes plans to free opposition supporters who have been imprisoned in recent years for taking part in protests. | |
| The amnesty is aimed at ending the political turmoil that was triggered by President Macky Sall's decision to postpone last month's elections. | |
| It is not clear if the amnesty would be applied to the jailed opposition politician Ousmane Sonko, whose supporters have held numerous demonstrations. | |
| The security forces responded with violence to protests killing dozens of people and arresting hundreds. | |
| Critics of the bill say it will be used to exonerate government and security officials for the deaths of protesters. | |
