00:09according to an autopsy report circulated widely in Senegalese media.
00:13Medical student Abdullahi Ba died on the campus of Sheikh Antadiop University in the capital Dakar a week ago during
00:21the unrest, in circumstances that remain unclear.

00:39independently verified, indicates multiple traumas.

00:49physical violence inflicted on the victim.
