Case Headnotes: Following the failure of the military coup d'état in Burkina Faso on 16th September 2015, judicial information was opened against all persons who participated as author, co-author or accomplice of the coup; Accordingly, there were apparent elements from the investigation of this process likely to determinate the criminal liability of the applicant, Mr SAWADOGO Salifou, then a Parliament Member in the National Assembly; In view of the gravity of the facts, the Military Court wanted the applicant's criminal liability to be invoked, as those of other persons persecuted for the same facts.
