Several named miliary officers were arrested in early November 2002. They are being held in incommunicado detention without charge, at Mansoa Army barracks north of the capital Bissau and at Cumeré Army barracks south of the capital. They have reportedly been tortured and at least one, Second Lieutenant Mussá Cassamá, has died in detention.
