A relative of Abubakar Boxx Konteh, a Sierra Leonean arrested last Saturday in Guinea, is calling for him to be accorded due process according to international law. The Sierra Leone government says Konteh was arrested in a joint operation with Guinean security in Guinea for his role in the failed coup attempt on November 26, 2023. Ahmed Sesay, a family member of Konteh, tells VOA’s James Butty, Konteh’s arrest may be part of a witch hunt because he is also regional coordinator of main opposition All People’s Congress party.
