Guinea's ruling junta has granted a controversial pardon to former military leader Moussa Dadis Camara, who was serving a 20-year sentence for his role in the 2009 stadium massacre that left over 150 people dead. The pardon, announced on state television, was justified on 'health grounds' despite Camara's conviction for crimes against humanity. Human rights groups have condemned the move, warning it undermines justice and accountability. The massacre occurred when security forces opened fire on opposition protesters in a stadium in Conakry. The decision raises concerns about the junta's commitment to human rights and the rule of law.
