Two Senegalese artists, a religious singer and a percussionist, are set to appear in court on 18 November. Their hearing will take place before the court handling flagrant offences in Thiès. The pair were taken into police custody after being picked up in a cemetery. They have since been released on provisional liberty while the case moves forward. Their appearance before a fast-track criminal court signals the matter is being treated as urgent. Neither the charges they face nor the circumstances of the cemetery arrest are spelled out in the text.
