Guinea: "In a Guinea Seized by Violence, Women Are Prey"
-- In a Guinea Seized by Violence, Women Are Prey
-- NYT reports: "Cellphone snapshots, ugly and hard to refute, are circulating here 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"

Because of the shame associated with sexual violence in this West African country, victims are reluctant to speak, and local doctors refuse to do so. Victims who told of the attacks would not provide their names because they were afraid of retribution."
-- NYT describes Guinea as a "Muslim" country
