schema:articleBody	Supporters of a Senegalese Muslim religious and political leader ransacked a newspaper after it reported Monday that the public figure was ill with COVID-19, the newspaper said. Les Echos reported Monday on its front page that the Tijaniyya brotherhood's leader Serigne Moustapha Sy, who also heads the PUR party, was "stricken by COVID-19" and admitted to the main hospital in the capital Dakar. The party denounced the report as lies and issued a veiled warning to the newspaper. An official at the newspaper, Cheikh Oumar Ndao, told AFP that four or five had assailants arrived at the publication around 1:00 pm on Monday. "They asked for the author of the article on Moustapha Sy, issued threats and damaged equipment," including seven computers and a TV set, Oumar Ndao told AFP. In a statement reacting to the newspaper's story, PUR's national secretary for youth, Habib Ndiaye, denounced it "bare-faced lies". The PUR leader "is in good health and is somewhere on planet Earth taking care of business", he added. "Leave him alone if you want peace," the statement added -- though it made no mention of the attack on the newspaper. Senegal's Council of Editors (Cdeps) denounced the attack and reminded the government of its duty to protect journalists and media organisations. The PUR's presidential candidate in 2019 won around four percent of the vote. Senegal has officially declared 10,386 coronavirus cases for 211 deaths, but those infected have complained they are stigmatised. Senegal, a west African country whose population is mainly Muslim, ranks 49th out of 180 countries in media freedom by the Reporters without Borders watchdog. mrb/lc/jj
