Guinea's Ex-Ruler's Pardon Stirs Controversy

Moussa Dadis Camara, Guinea's former military leader, has been controversially pardoned for his involvement in a brutal stadium massacre.

His 20-year sentence for crimes against humanity, issued less than a year ago, has been overturned on health grounds.

The 2009 massacre involved the killing of over 150 people and numerous sexual assaults during a peaceful protest.

This pardon sparks debate about justice and accountability for human rights abuses in the aftermath of a decades-long dictatorship.
