Imprisoned for five days on the premises of the judicial police, the five opposition figures were accused of “attacking the nation’s fundamental interests” placed under a commitment decision and imprisoned in the civil prison in Conakry.
as reported from Conakry, Moctar Bah
Abdoulaye Bah, Ousmane Gaoual Diallo and Cellou Baldé, all UFDGs, the main founders of the Guinean opposition, as well as Etienne Soropogui, of the Common Values Movement, active support for Cellou Dalein Diallo during the October 18 presidential election, spent their first night in the civil prison in Conakry.
They were brought on Monday, November 16, before an investigating judge at the Dixinn court, on the outskirts of Conakry, who accused them of “manufacturing and possessing weapons of war and attacks on the nation’s fundamental interests” and were immediately taken under good escort to civilian prison. They joined Ibrahima Chérif Bah, one of the Vice-Presidents of the UFDG and former Governor of the Central Bank of Guinea, indicted and indicted last week for the same reason.
In a statement to the press, the spokesman for the Defense Bar Association, Me Salifou Béavogui, stated: “Our clients, political prisoners, have good morals, very confident because they are convinced of their innocence” and added that “they are only prosecuted for political reasons”.
The prosecutor for his part did not want to speak at the moment. The prosecutor had simply said last week that these high-ranking opposition officials were actively sought to make threats that would likely disrupt public order.
