We, members of the Sierra Leone People's Democratic League (PDL) are grief-stricken at the ongoing horrific political violence that has erupted in neighboring Guinea and wish to condemn in no uncertain terms the abusive practices that the Guinean military, led by the dictator General Lansana Conte, has continued to unleash on the Guinean people in the last two decades. We vehemently condemn also all attempts by the dictator Lansana Conteh's empire to trample upon the dignity and democratic freedoms of the people of Guinea.
