What began as a simple drug case ultimately shifted to a morals investigation. Investigators from the Dakar Research Brigade uncovered exchanges deemed questionable, images of women in nightgowns, and, most notably, videos of girls kissing. This led, last week, to the adjournment of the trial for a group of young people arrested in an Ouakam apartment for drug possession and use. Ultimately, the group was acquitted. The defense successfully demonstrated that nitrous oxide, commonly known as 'laughing gas,' is not listed as a controlled substance.
Among those tried were the women F. D. Camara, N. K. Aidara, L. A. Boughaleb, E. Koundé, H. Gaye, M. Fall, as well as the men I. Diagne and M. Ndao.
In its ruling, the court reclassified the charge from an 'act against nature' to an 'indecent act.' The women were each sentenced to a one-year suspended prison term and a fixed fine of 100,000 CFA francs (approx. $165).
