Guinea's ex-dictator Moussa Dadis Camara, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison over a 2009 massacre, was pardoned Friday for "health reasons" by the West African country's junta head, according to a decree read out on national television.
"Upon the proposal of the Minister of Justice, a presidential pardon is granted to Mr. Moussa Dadis Camara for health reasons," said the decree, read out on television by presidential spokesperson General Amara Camara late Friday.
