The future for opponents of Guinea s President Alpha Conde looks even bleaker.
Opposition politician Oumar Sylla, known by his alias Foniké Mangué, was taken away by police on Thursday after a court sentenced him to 11 months in prison for disturbing public order.
He is an outspoken critic of the president and was opposed to the constitutional change that Conde made to allow him to run for a third time.
Conde, 82, won the vote in a violently disputed election on October 18.
While Sylla was taken away he said he would continue to fight against the election.
He was arrested in September and says he was kidnapped by a group wearing civilian clothes and one in uniform after he was knocked off a motorcycle and then detained.
