Three doctors have been found guilty of the death of a young patient who was the victim of a hospital rape by a court in Guinea.

In 2021, the government reported that M'Mah Sylla had passed away in Tunisia, where she had been flown for medical attention after being raped.

The case caused a great deal of outrage in Guinea.

A court in the capital Conakry has now sentenced Daniel and Patrice Lamah to 15 years in prison and a third doctor, Celestin Millimouna - who is on the run - was given a 20-year sentence.

They were all found guilty of assault and battery as well as carrying out an abortion.

Patrice Lamah and Millimouna were also found guilty of rape.
