"Thank you very much, Commissioner. Today I have found out that a council of war sentenced the person who killed this aid worker to thirty years in prison and has awarded compensation of EUR 40 000 to the family of the victim.
It does represent progress that there has been an emergency council of war; however, Commissioner, you know – and I imagine this has been expressed by the people who have been in Guinea – that human rights are still being violated all the time, despite certain prisoners having been freed, and that this situation is unfortunately constant in this small country which has few citizens. They continue to live essentially in terror, and although the country is one of the world’s richest, thanks to oil, the population, as you know, receives no education or health care and lives in poverty.
Therefore, Commissioner, despite the fact that you have said that there have been improvements, I would ask you to continue to demand a system of guarantees which make it possible for these citizens to live with the minimum degree of human rights."@en1
