On July 9, 2024, National Front for the Defense of the Constitution (FNDC) activists Mamadou Billo Bah and Oumar Sylla Fonikè Manguè were arrested in Conakry and then taken to the gendarmerie premises. An arrest considered a ” kidnapping ” for the FNDC activists. Since then, the lawyers and families have had no news. No legal proceedings have been opened. For the first time, in a long press release, their companions are calling on the Guinean authorities.
Fifty-eight days in ” fear and anxiety » et without any information. Despite the pressure, the families of the FNDC activists have decided to break the silence. Assiatou Bah, the wife of Mamadou Billo Bah, and Hawadjan Doukouré, that of Oumar Sylla Fonikè Manguè, call the general Mamadi Doumbouya and the authorities to send them signs of life.
« We have no information about them. Legally, we have had no feedback. We have not seen them, we have not made contact with them, by telephone or visually. We want to know their conditions of detention. We want to know their state of health. “, pleads one of the two women.
No news from the activists
The wives of the FNDC activists believe that the international community must put pressure on the government and that these arrests should concern all Guineans, because Oumar Sylla Fonikè Manguè and Mamadou Billo Bah are fighting for the freedoms of all.
