Guinea: Former magistrate Algassimou Diallo transferred to prison far from Conakry
Struck off and imprisoned following an exchange with exiled opposition figure Cellou Dalein Diallo, the former Guinean magistrate has been moved far from the capital, a decision denounced by his lawyers.
In Guinea, former magistrate Algassimou Diallo has been transferred to a prison far from Conakry, according to information reported by France 24.
Mr. Diallo was struck off the judiciary and then imprisoned following an exchange with exiled Guinean opposition figure Cellou Dalein Diallo, the source confirms.
The former magistrate's lawyers are condemning this transfer to a detention facility far from the capital, even as the authorities have not publicly communicated the specific details of the reasons cited for the move.
Cellou Dalein Diallo, a prominent figure in the Guinean opposition, currently lives in exile. The exact circumstances of the exchange that led to Algassimou Diallo's removal from office and subsequent imprisonment have not been detailed in available information.
This case reflects the ongoing tensions between Guinean authorities and certain opposition and judicial figures, though no further details have been provided at this stage.
