Doumbouya pardons several prisoners in Guinea

Guinean President Mamadi Doumbouya granted full sentence remissions to several prisoners on October 14, 2026.

The prisoners had been convicted by courts in different parts of Guinea for offences including theft, fraud, assault and drug-related crimes.

The pardons cover people from places including Dubréka, Boké, Mamou and Kankan.

Separate coverage says opposition figure Aliou Bah must complete a stage before release.

That stage is described as civic supervision in one headline and military training in another.

The coverage does not explain how the stage relates to the broader group of pardoned prisoners.

The accounts differ on the stage’s nature, and no further details on what happens next are provided.
