Guinean and Int'l civil society calls for restraint




The International Federation for Human Rights has released this statement calling for restraint in Guinea:

The 101 organizations of civil society of Guinea, France, West Africa and internationally condemn the violence and attacks against civilians, human rights defenders and political actors in Guinea. The organizations call on all actors and especially national authorities to exercise restraint and moderation.

The violence that marked the election campaign for the second round of presidential elections and the disproportionate strength of the defense and security that have been responsible for serious human rights violations (assaults, arbitrary arrests and detention, robbery, home invasions) are acts contrary to national law and, as possibly violations of the international law of human rights.
