Guinea-Bissau rights group seeks swift justice for three deaths
The LGDH urged the Public Prosecutor's office to speed up investigations into recent fatalities.
The Guinean League for Human Rights (LGDH) called for faster investigations into the deaths of vicar Luís Balanta, Mamadu Tano Bari, and a military health technician who died from electrocution in Bôr. The organization wants perpetrators held accountable and the innocent protected.
LGDH president Bubacar Turé stated this position on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, following a meeting with the Attorney General. While the LGDH welcomed an inquiry commission for Luís Balanta's death, they requested intensified efforts in other unresolved cases.
Turé emphasized that justice must be impartial, treating all cases equally without distinguishing between first or second-class crimes. The LGDH also raised concerns about alleged home invasions and a rise in human trafficking cases, urging the government to bolster the Public Ministry's resources.
