On September 28, 2022, the Guinean judicial authorities opened a long-delayed trial of 11 men – among them former government ministers and a former president – accused of responsibility for the 2009 Guinean security forces’ massacre of more than 150 peaceful demonstrators and rapes of scores of women in a stadium in Conakry, the capital. The trial is the first of its kind involving human rights violations on this scale before domestic courts in Guinea.

At the Conakry trial, witnesses explained that violations continued in detention several days after the stadium massacre.

The "September 28 trial" is accelerating in Guinea. Several witnesses tell of the massacre at the stadium. Thierno Mamadou Diallo is one of them.

Ben Youssouf Keïta, an opponent of Dadis Camara, testified at the September 28 trial. A victim and eyewitness, his account of the massacre left a lasting impression.

On February 14 at the Dixinn Criminal Court trying the stadium massacre in Guinea’s capital Conakry, the hearing of plaintiffs began. The first tragic accounts of victims, after five months of hearing the accused, are lending weight to the gravity of this case.
