Guinea: Justice and Dialogue Must Respond to Violence

press release

FIDH and its member organisation in Guinea, OGDH, remain highly concerned about the current political and security situation in Conakry. Certain areas of Conakry remain the scene of violence seven days after the outbreak of clashes that led to the death of at least nine people. FIDH and OGDH call upon all actors for calm and for the opening of a judicial inquiry to identify the authors of these violence acts.

The Guinean capital has seen much fighting since a demonstration on Wednesday 27 February. From Thursday, 28 February, violence erupted on the fringes of the dead city strikes called for by opposition parties, in particular at Madina market where the violence took an ethnic dimension.
