Prosecutors in Guinea are seeking a 10-year prison sentence for Colonel Bienvenu Lamah, a gendarme officer, in connection with the 2009 Conakry stadium massacre. The trial, focusing on the events of September 28, 2009, has been ongoing since the beginning of the year. Lamah and other officers are accused of involvement in the killing of opposition protestors at the stadium. The colonel denies any responsibility, claiming he was not in charge of the Kaléah camp at the time of the incident. The prosecution’s request marks a significant development in the long-delayed pursuit of justice for the victims of the massacre. The trial continues as authorities attempt to hold those responsible accountable for the violence.
