Twenty African civil society organizations are calling for an independent investigation into a mass grave containing six male bodies found in southwestern Guinea, according to AFP. The bodies, discovered last Monday in the village of Allassoyah by young people collecting firewood, were found bound and blindfolded in the Forecariah administrative prefecture's Lower Guinea region.
The NGOs, including Tournons La Page (TLP), demanded that all hypotheses be examined in a transparent investigation and that the discovery be investigated with the support of national and international forensic experts to formally identify the victims. This comes after at least 35 documented cases of enforced disappearances in Guinea since September 5, 2021, and amid increasing suppression of political dissent and arrests of opposition leaders since the 2021 coup led by General Mamady Doumbouya.
