Guinea’s justice has issued an international arrest warrant against Sékou Koundouno, an active member of civil society who is also responsible for the planning and strategy of the FNDC, the front that opposed Alpha Condé’s third term.

Dozens of Guinean opponents and members of civil society have been detained without trial since March and October 2020.
