UN report on massacre in Guinea

The Guardian reports today that UN investigators have looked into the massacre at the national football stadium in Guinea on 28 September 2009.  Soldiers sealed the exits of the stadium and then attacked the many thousands who had gathered there to protest.  The report finds that there is sufficient reason to presume the direct criminal responsibility of the leader of the military junta.

While you’re here…

Like you, we are horrified by the violence and the civilian death toll in Gaza, Israel and the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territories. We’re calling for an immediate ceasefire by all parties in the occupied Gaza Strip and Israel to prevent further loss of civilian lives. Amnesty International is investigating mass summary killings, indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks, hostage-taking, and siege tactics.

As ever, our mission to protect human rights remains. Please donate today to help expose war crimes and protect human rights. Thank you.
