Guinean presidential spokesperson Amara Camara clarified that the medical evacuations of Ibrahima Kassory Fofana and Amadou Damaro Camara are neither pardons nor a challenge to judicial decisions.

Guinean minister Amara Camara on Monday distinguished presidential pardons from medical evacuations of former senior officials, at a press conference in Conakry. He recalled that a pardon does not overturn court decisions or victims’ rights, particularly regarding compensation, according to Guinéenews.
Amara Camara described the measure as regulated clemency that must be accompanied by a monitoring programme. He discussed these issues alongside other national matters, including the Simandou mining project and the declassification of land in Wanindara, Guinéenews reports.
