This report is based on a three-week fact-finding mission undertaken in Guinea by an Amnesty International delegation in April 2007. The organization’s representatives visited Conakry and several other towns, including Siguiri, Kankan, Labé, Kissidougou, Faranah, Mamou and Kindia. They met dozens of victims and their families as well as witnesses who all reported excessive use of force by members of the security forces. The delegation also met members of the new Guinean government, which was put in place in March 2007, including the Minister of Justice and Human Rights and the Minister of Interior and Security.
