The head of the ruling junta, Captain Moussa Dadis Camara, has modified the functioning and composition of the national independent commission of inquiry to investigate all crimes and other human rights abuses committed in Guinea, particularly the recent repression of the opposition’s demonstration against the candidacy of Dadis Moussa in the January 2010 elections.
The state-owned media announced on Sunday night the order and a decree issued by the head of the ruling junta in which he promises to provide all documents that will help the truth to come out.
He promises to ensure security and all the guarantees necessary for the proper conduct of the commission’s proceedings.
The junta has also reduced the members of the commission from 31 to 23 people.
They include 6 judges, 3 lawyers, 2 law professors, 2 medical examiners, 2 civil society representatives, 1 human rights delegate, 2 political parties delegates supporting the candidacy of the junta in future elections and 5 foreigners.
The new list does not comprise delegates of political and social actors hostile to the military candidacy in the coming elections.
These people demand an international commission of inquiry that will get right to the bottom of the 28 September repression with “precision and objectivity”.
