The trial of the September 28, 2009 massacre on Tuesday, October 24 was short-lived. Only three victims took the stand for the public hearing. Two people who lost loved ones and a young person who was tortured at the Alpha Yaya Diallo camp and at PM3 then located in Kaloum. They gave way to two rape victims who testified behind closed doors.
Alpha Mamoudou Diallo claimed that it was his child who went to the stadium on September 28, 2009. Around 1 p.m., the Red Cross called him to tell him that his child, Alpha Oumar, had been shot. “I was called to tell me that he was taken to Donka Hospital. He died on Tuesday September 29, 2009; The next day, they handed over the body to us for burial. »
Thierno Hassane Sow indicated that it was his younger brother Souleymane Sow who went to the stadium. “Since that day, we have not found him. We searched for him everywhere in Conakry. In the police stations, the gendarmerie, in the camp and in the hospital. So far we haven’t seen it.”
Mamadou Bobo Diallo, driver living in the Koloma district, indicated that on September 28, 2009, he joined his friends at the Bambéto roundabout. They told him to follow them to go to the stadium. He was reluctant at first, but since the crowd was large, he followed them. Arriving at Dixinn terrace, they stayed outside for a few minutes before entering the stadium. When the shooting started, he asked his friends to do everything they could to get out of the stadium. “As there were a lot of people, I lost track of my friends. I tried to leave the stadium several times, but I couldn’t. When I went out, I found police officers, gendarmes and red berets, there were a lot of people, they mobilized us and started to beat us. They took us on board to send us to the Alpha Yaya camp, to the special services building, responsible for the fight against drugs. There, they beat us, tied us up. They hurt me. We were sequestered and beaten for 3 days. Afterwards, they took us on board and sent us to town, we stayed for 4 days. They freed us. »
Towards the end of the hearing of the victims, the president of the court, Ibrahima Sory 2 Tounkara, said that there were no more victims on his list, before ordering a closed session to hear two women victims of rape. After the trial was postponed until tomorrow, October 25, for further proceedings.
