As Senegal's 31 July parliamentary elections draw closer, attacks on journalists have increased, with the majority of perpetrators being politicians and political party activists.
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has produced recommendations for the safety of journalists in the run-up to Senegal’s parliamentary elections on 31 July, which have so far been marked by tension and an increase in threats and attacks against media personnel since late May. The election campaign begins officially on 10 July.
