SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Aug 16 – Ibrahima Ndiaye
was arrested on September 21,
2023 for having destroyed
property in Senegal's
consulate and UN Mission
during a protest.
Ndiaye was
presented before U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York
Magistrate Judge Jennifer E.
Willis on September 21. Inner
City Press was there, the only
media in the SDNY Mag Court.
[Earlier in the week, it did
its best to cover the UN
General Assembly week in which
Senegal's Macky Sall
is.]
Judge
Willis asked the AUSA if
consular notification was
required, ironic in this case.
The AUSA said it is not
mandatory. This follows a
similar case against Diop the
day before.
She added that
the US agreed to release on
$10,000 bond - and stay away
from the Senegal consulate and
mission. He was to
return - but he did not.
On October 4, he
was back before SDNY
Magistrate Judge Steward D.
Aaron, who asked if his
failure to return was due to a
misunderstanding. Yes was the
answer, through an
interpreter. A warning was
issued.
Jump cut to
August 16, 2024 when another
defendant charged with
destruction at the Senegal
consulate plead guilty - to
the misdemeanor of "Attempted
Obstruction of a Foreign
Official." He's set to be
sentenced by Magistrate Judge
Sarah L. Cave on December 16
at 10 am.
This case is US
v. Bara Kaire, 24-cr-487
(Cave)
The earlier
case is US v. Ndiaye,
23-mj-6507 (Willis)
