A Guinea court has sentenced former junta leader Moussa Camara to 20 years in prison for crimes against humanity in relation to the 2009 stadium massacre by the military that killed at least 157 people and left dozens of women raped.
Guinea's Criminal Court convicted Camara and seven other high-ranking officials on charges of murder, kidnapping and rape that were reclassified as "crimes against humanity" on Wednesday.
More than 100 survivors and victims' relatives testified in the trial that started in November 2022, more than a decade after the massacre and under pressure from families and activists demanding justice.
Some of the victims' relatives lauded the verdict as justice at last while others said the penalty for Camara in particular was not enough.
