Alpha Abdoulaye Barry, said he was shot by the Guinean army during protests
CONAKRY, 22 Jan 2007 (IRIN) - “My parents forbade me to go out of the house because of the marches. I waited for many hours on the bed, but then I needed to go to the toilet."
“There are no toilets in our house, so I went outside in the street. At that moment I heard shouting and shooting just a few metres away.”
“I ran back into the house and saw a soldier behind me. He was shooting into the crowd and one of the bullets hit me in the shoulder.”
“I immediately fell on the floor, and some minutes later the Red Cross came and took me to the hospital with my father.”
“I got first aid, but it still really hurts.”
