Abstract
- The article reports on the arrest of two activists in Guinea who were speaking out against the ruling junta. Oumar Sylla and Mamadou Billo Bah, leaders of the pro-democracy movement National Front for the Defence of the Constitution (FNDC), were arrested by a group of soldiers. The FNDC has been at the forefront of protests against former president Alpha Conde and is one of the last opposition voices in Guinea. The arrests are part of a pattern of opposition detentions since the military seized power in 2021. The public prosecutor denies the arrests and calls for investigations into the activists' disappearances. [Extracted from the article]
