first testimonies of the victims of the massacre of September 28, 2009

With our correspondent in Conakry, Mouctar Bah

At the helm, Oury Bailo Bah, the first to appear, recounted in tears the last telephone exchanges he had with his brother. The emotion was strong in the courtroom and the questions of clarification of the prosecution and the defense lawyers did not alter his thirst for justice.

« I am angry with the CNDD regime, I am angry with the military leaders of the CNDD era, I am angry with all the police who were at the stadium for having removed and concealed bodies. They leave us unburied. So we expect a lot from this court. »

For one of Moussa Tiegboro Camara’s lawyers, this kind of testimony does not allow him to formally accuse his client.

« In reality, these are reported words, there is no proof, these are fanciful statements. It will be the word of the victims once morest those of the accused. So we have to make efforts on the side of the prosecution and on the side of the civil parties to provide evidence, otherwise we will stop there and our clients will be acquitted. “, says Master Almamy Samory Touré

The women, many victims in this trial, are summoned to appear this Wednesday to testify to the horrors they have experienced.
