Cellphone pictures of rape in Guinea corroborate horrific events

Cellphone snapshots, ugly and hard to refute, are circulating in Guinea and feeding rage: they show that women were the particular targets of the Guinean soldiers who suppressed a political demonstration at a stadium here last week, with victims and witnesses describing rapes, beatings and acts of intentional humiliation.

The cellphone pictures are circulating anonymously, but multiple witnesses corroborated the events depicted.
