Guinea junta releases dozens of political prisoner
India Today
Many political prisoners have been released by the new military rulers in Guinea.
Guinea's new military rulers have released dozens of political prisoners jailed by the previous civilian government, in a move likely to win them favour with the opposition that had protested against now-deposed President Alpha Conde. The 79 prisoners freed late Tuesday had been held on a variety of charges, including breaching security, destroying public property and manufacturing weapons. All were invited to a political rally Saturday in the capital.More Related News
