President Mamadi Doumbouya of Guinea released 312 convicted people through a presidential decree on October 14, 2026.
Government spokespersons Amara Camara and Faya François Bourouno announced the decision on national television. The decree fully remits the sentences of those affected, but requires them to complete a 30-day program focused on civic training and social reintegration.
The Minister of Justice and Human Rights and the Minister Delegate to the Presidency in charge of National Defense will jointly issue a separate order detailing how the program will operate. This follows a similar pardon on October 1st, where 217 prisoners, including Aliou Bah, president of MoDeL, received presidential clemency and began a 45-day rehabilitation program at the Sonfonia National Gendarmerie School.
