Amy Ndiaye Gniby, a fellow MP, was awarded more than $8,000 in damages from Amadou Niang and Massata Samb.
Two lawmakers in Senegal have been given six months in prison for assaulting a pregnant coworker on December 1 during a heated parliamentary debate that turned into a full-fledged brawl.
Amadou Niang and Massata Samb of the opposition Party for Unity and Rally (PUR) were also ordered by the Dakar court to pay Amy Ndiaye Gniby of the ruling Benno Bokk Yakaar coalition a total of 5 million CFA francs ($8,144) in restitution.
In a chaotic televised scene that shocked Senegal, Samb slapped Gniby in the face during a budget debate in the National Assembly after she scoffed at his remarks in criticism of her.
Gniby responded by throwing a chair at Samb and was then pushed to the ground by other lawmakers and kicked in the abdomen by Niang.
The fight has worsened political tensions in Senegal that flared when the governing party lost its comfortable majority in a July legislative election.
The loss was widely seen as a rebuke of President Macky Sall amid uncertainty over whether he will seek a third term in 2024, a move the opposition says would be in breach of term limits and an earlier promise.
Sall, 60, has refused to state clearly whether he plans to run again.
