The contract teachers not accepted in the civil service recruitment competition arrested on Monday December 16 were brought before the Kaloum court of first instance. They demanded from the government their commitment to the Guinean Civil Service.
After being arrested by security agents, these contract teachers were dropped off at the central police station of the Municipality of Kaloum. There would be more than twenty of them brought before the Kaloum court on the afternoon of Monday, December 16.
The coordinator of the collective, Diaka Sow, is in favor of negotiation, but does not want an intermediary between his collective and the ministerial departments concerned: “This time, if there will be negotiation, it will be between the office of the Teachers’ Collective contractual agreements with the ministries concerned. No middleman. To destroy the struggle, we were brutalized, but we will never give up. What we need is the commitment order,” he said.
Me Paul Yomba Kourouma, the lawyer for these contract teachers, went to the police station. According to him, many of them came from inside the country and “they didn’t commit anything serious. To hear them, it will take months, because there are 4,000 teachers. There are questions of safeguarding peace, public order, tranquility, especially in this city and at this time (…) The intention of the police and the prosecutor is not to detain them, they have not committed any apparently reprehensible act”, hopes the lawyer who adds: “It is very serious what is happening, there is discrimination, segregation, contempt; Guinean education is falling (…) From one moment to the next and technically, under the aegis of the public prosecutor, the file will be communicated to him and he will give the final instructions.”
Me Paul Yomba, specified when we went online that his clients “are in the process of being identified in court. » Remember that since May 2022, the military junta that rules Guinea has banned street protests in the country.
