The ex-president of Guinea will be tried for murder by the Guinean junta.
The claims appear to be related to Mr Condé's final months in government when security forces were sent to suppress resistance to his third term.

Guinean authorities have announced that former President Alpha Condé will be prosecuted for murder and other crimes committed during his tenure in power.
Mr. Condé, who is 84 years old, was deposed by a military coup in September of last year.
According to a document from Guinea's public prosecutor, he is one of 27 former senior officials accused of a long list of offenses.
Murder, illegal detentions, abductions, torture, rape, and kidnapping are among them.
The claims appear to be related to Mr. Condé's final months in government when security forces were sent to suppress resistance to his third term.
Hundreds of people were killed because they took to the streets.
The case was opened after a complaint was filed by FNDC, an umbrella group that spearheaded the protests, according to the public prosecutor, who was appointed by Guinea's military rulers.
