I am waiting for these judicial authorities” will rule very quickly, and I am also waiting for the ECOWAS Court, which in principle must receive a follow – up from the State of Mali at the end of this month, to also decide on the urgent measures that have been taken. “
“Irregularities” “I also remembered other bodies that I arrested, the High Commissioner for Human Rights, precisely for condemning these attitudes, for describing the deviations and irregularities in this file,” concludes Master Mamadou Ismaela Konaté.
