Amnesty International stated Wednesday that protesters subjected to unlawful force during anti-constitutional amendment demonstrations in Guinea face obstacles to accessing adequate healthcare and justice.
According to Amnesty International, as of April 22, 2024, at least 47 people have been killed during demonstrations under Guinea’s military junta, known as the Comité National du Rassemblement pour le Développement (CRND). Furthermore, Amnesty reported more than 75 percent of these victims were under the age of 25, and 40 percent were under the age of 18. Amnesty accused defense forces of knowingly leaving “victims with serious injuries at the scene instead of providing assistance.”
According to the report, “Wounded Youth: Care and Justice Urgently Needed for the Victims of Unlawful Use of Force in Guinea,” access to social networks and news websites is restricted or blocked and the signals of several radio stations have been interrupted or cut off, violating the right to freedom of expression, including the right to seek, receive, and impart various information and ideas.
The first ban prohibiting support for demonstrations in Guinea was issued on September 11, 2021. This was followed by another announcement on May 13, 2022, which banned “all demonstrations on public thoroughfares likely to compromise social tranquility and the proper execution of activities contained in the timetable until electoral campaign periods.”
