Conakry, Guinea - A Guinean public prosecutor on Monday ordered a list of all police officers present when a young man was killed during demonstrations
Guinea said Wednesday it would prosecute former president Alpha Conde, who was toppled in a military coup last September, for murder and other crimes committed during his time in office.
Aplha Conde is among 27 former senior officials who face prosecution for 'murder, assassination and complicity,' according to a document given to journalists by prosecutor Alphonse Charles Wright.
The coup in Guinea has strained the country’s relations with its neighbors in the Economic Community of West African States, or ECOWAS, which has increasingly declined to recognize military takeovers in recent years.
