The judicial landscape in Chad is set to witness a pivotal moment as the Supreme Court schedules a high-stakes hearing in the case involving prominent opposition leader Succès Masra. Court records reveal that the matter will be addressed during the public session of the 2nd Penal Division on Thursday, May 21, 2026, at 9:00 AM.

The official notice, dated May 19, 2026, and signed by the presiding judge of the division, Mr. Samir Adam Annour, confirms that case file number 092/25 will bring together two key parties: the defense coalition led by the legal team of Masra and the Mandakao defendants, with Me Kadjilem-baye Francis at the forefront, against the prosecution and the Chadian state, represented by the State Legal Agency (AJE).

The judicial review will focus on a cassation appeal against the criminal ruling (case number 018/25) issued by the N’Djamena Court of Appeal on August 9, 2025. The proceedings will be presided over by Magistrate Amadou Oumarou, marking a significant step in the legal proceedings.
