Official investigation opens into Conde’s arrest

    KINSHASA

    The Guinean government announced yesterday (Tuesday) that it was opening an investigation into the arrest of Alpha Conde, the chief opposition leader, who was detained last week, the French radio station RFI reported. Police accuse him of trying to cross the border into neighbouring Cote d’Ivoire which had been closed during presidential elections. The government said Conde would continue to be under house arrest in safe conditions adding that the criticism from various quarters of Conde’s arrest was uncalled for. Conde is the leader of the Rassemblement du Peuple de la Guinee (RPG).
