Senegalese authorities arrested activist Amadou Sarang Diallo, 27, on Friday after he posted a TikTok video condemning Israel's participation in the Youth Olympic Games being held in Senegal. Civil society groups are calling for his release, saying the video was misconstrued as a call for violence. The arrest has drawn criticism from activists who say it restricts peaceful protest against Israel's presence at the games. The government has not publicly detailed the charges in the reporting.
