**A new report into the killing of 157 protesters by the security forces in Guinea in September says it was a premeditated massacre.**The report, by Human Rights Watch, says the killings were designed to silence opposition to military rule.
The authors say Guinea’s presidential guard fired into the crowd until they ran out of bullets.
They say this was a crime against humanity, coming under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court.
The Human Rights Watch report says the military tried to cover up the massacre by removing bodies from hospital for secret mass burials.
Guinea’s government puts a lower figure on the number of dead - 57 - and says most of these were trampled to death, not shot.
