The police in Guinea have disputed a report from an opposition group that seven people were killed during anti-junta demonstrations.
Guinea police Spokesman Mory Kaba said the figure given by the organisers of the demonstration is false and is only imaginary.
He said they simply want to discredit the authorities who are doing everything to avoid deaths during demonstrations.
The Forces Vives, an opposition group made up of parties, unions and civil society organisations, said seven people were killed and 32 wounded by gunfire on Wednesday.
Protests in Guinea are frequently met by violence with security forces. The exact toll of the violence is still difficult to calculate.
The Forces Vive have called for the continuation of rallies for the liberation of three civil society figures who have been imprisoned for several months, as well as all political prisoners.
The collective is calling for the opening of a credible dialogue with a view to the rapid return of civilians to the leadership of the country, as well as the lifting of the ban on all demonstrations introduced in 2022 by the junta in power since a coup in 2021.
