DEATH TOLL RISES TO 135

According to a statement by human rights organizations, 135 people lost their lives in the incident. The statement indicated that security forces used excessive tear gas during their intervention in the clashes and prioritized the protection of officials rather than the spectators.

On Sunday, during a local tournament held in honor of Guinea's Interim President Mamady Doumbouya, a controversial penalty decision by the referee led to fans clashing with each other, resulting in a stampede. In the incidents where hundreds of people stormed the field, the police intervened with tear gas. Guinea's Prime Minister Amadou Bah Oury stated that an investigation has been launched to identify those responsible for the incident. The official statement noted that at least 56 people, including children, lost their lives as a result of the stampede.
