Guinea dismisses Security officers over Junta Leader Jailbreak

Guinea has dismissed more than 60 soldiers and prison officers over the jailbreak of former junta leader Moussa Dadis Camara and two others.

Captain Camara was recaptured and returned to prison a few hours after being freed from his cell by “heavily armed commandos” early on Saturday.

Those taken are currently on trial for their alleged roles in deaths of more than 150 people in a 2009 protest in the capital Conakry.

Besides Captain Camara, two other prisoners have also been found.

His lawyer says the former leader was taken against his will and that he would never try to escape prison, as he had confidence in Guinean judicial system.
