opponents condemn the latest arrests
New arrests have taken place in Guinea as part of investigations into the violence surrounding the recent presidential election. At least four people, opponents, were heard separately by the police, they are among the six people who “actively searched”.
Four Guinean opponents were arrested during an extensive operation with arrests and interrogations about the violence surrounding the recent presidential election. The four men who are heard separately by the police are among them the six “actively” desired opponents, according to the prosecution after the violence in the election, and more precisely for having “uttered threats that could disrupt security and public order”.
The opposition condemns an operation aimed at spraying it and making people forget about the “election coup” that, according to it, President Alpha Condé has committed. They were all held in the premises of the judicial police where they spent the night. A situation condemned by their councilor Me Salifou Béavogui.
They were all questioned in our effective presence for acts that qualified as possession of weapons of war, disturbances of public order, looting and destruction, participation in a gathering, remarks encouraging violence, threats of a nature. to disrupt public order and security. In fact, this is a montage, the folder is empty. Our wish had been to return home with our customers. They are personalities who have sufficient guarantees, who have well-known ties, who have felt at home, who can in no way escape justice. In addition, it is the interrogation judge who issued a rogatory Commission. The letter agreement does not necessarily mean placement in police custody or detention. We believe that they are persecuted, that they are threatened, that they are threatened, hunted, arrested for their political activities, no more no less.
