The African Union threatened to impose sanctions on Guinea’s ruling military junta today as news emerged of more than 150 pro-democracy demonstrators killed, and hundreds more raped and butchered, in a brutal crackdown by government soldiers on Monday. Soldiers sent in to police the rally opened fire with live ammunition and tear gas, reportedly after a stampede broke out in the stadium. Witnesses reported that troops began bayoneting protestors trying to escape while others stripped and raped women in the crowd.
