Following the statement of the Union of Senegalese Nationals which was published by l'Orient le Jour on May 24th 2014 following the arbitrary arrest and detention of 4 Senegalese household workers, the head of the Union, Ibrahima Ciss noted that the news published by L'OlJ was incorrect and that the Union did not make any official statement to any media. He added that the Senegalese community in Lebanon has always been an example of seriousness and lawfulness and that it will continue to be so to gain the trust of the Lebanese government. He called on Senegalese to always remain serious and responsible, to respect Lebanese laws, and not to interfere in local issues.
