Guinea on Wednesday opened a landmark trial of 11 men, including the country’s former dictator Moussa Dadis Camara, who are accused of responsibility for a 2009 stadium massacre and mass rape by Guinean security forces.
“Thirteen years later, let’s do everything possible to ensure that the horror of massacres does not happen again in Guinea," said Djibril Kouyate, the president of the Guinean National Bar Association, during a speech at the trial’s opening. "Those who died will not speak again, but their bloodshed demands justice.”
