Sonko was convicted of defaming Tourism Minister Mame Mbaye Niang, whom he accused of embezzlement. No investigation of Niang was done. Therefore the libel may or may not be true. There is reasonable doubt. An accusation of rape against Sonko was dismissed. These are clearly motivated by political opposition.
