Guinean court sentences former dictator Dadis Camara to 20 years in prison for crimes against humanity

Moussa Dadis Camara, a former president of Guinea, was convicted of crimes against humanity in a landmark trial. The conviction was related to a 2009 stadium massacre in which at least 156 people were killed, hundreds more were wounded, and 109 women were raped. Camara and seven other high-ranking officials were found guilty by Guinea's Criminal Court, with Camara receiving a 20-year prison sentence. The trial was notable for the large number of survivors and victims' relatives who testified, with over 100 people sharing their experiences. The initial charges against Camara and the other defendants included murder, rape, and kidnapping, but were later recategorized as crimes against humanity.
