Blood crimes under Alpha / OPJs designated by the PG: Me TS Baldé says he is satisfied but modestly measured

Sixteen judicial police officers were appointed by the Attorney General to the Conakry Court of Appeal this Tuesday, May 17, 2022 as members of the pool of investigators for blood crimes in accordance with the instructions, for the purposes of prosecution by way of denunciation. against former President Alpha Condé and 26 other dignitaries of his regime.

Maître Thierno Souleymane Baldé, one of the lawyers for the victims joined this Wednesday, May 18 by our editorial staff, does not hide satisfaction. He hopes that this will lead to the organization of a fair and equitable trial

“We welcome this decision. As you know, until now, there were only speeches and declarations but no concrete action to materialize these decisions. If the Attorney General at the Conakry Court of Appeal decides to set up a pool of judicial police officers to conduct investigations in order to identify the perpetrators of blood crimes, we are happy and satisfied. We hope there will be an outcome that can allow for fair and just trials. There was the opening of information in relation to these crimes. We had lodged complaints against certain people concerned but at the time there was no political will, unfortunately none of the complaints had been investigated. This is why we are going to revive these complaints. In some cases, we have enough evidence,”assureMr Balde.
