The president of the Independent Union of Teachers of Chad (SIET), Djimoudouel Faustin, was released on Monday 9 November 2026 in N’Djamena, after several months spent at the Klessoum detention centre, according to Tchadinfos.
He had been sentenced on 2 February to 12 months in prison and a fine of 25,000 CFA francs, in the context of the teachers' strikes. He was found guilty of usurping a title and disturbing public order, while the government no longer recognises the existence of SIET, although it had previously authorised its operation.
Ningar David, national general secretary of SIET, expressed his joy and thanked God. After his release, Djimoudouel Faustin said he was reserving the right to make any public statement for the time being.
