Cellphone images and witnesses show soldiers in Conakry, Guinea quell a peaceful demonstration at a local stadium by RAPING women. Rape is a "cause for shame" in these parts so victims are reluctant to speak.
The government put the number killed in the demonstration last week at about 50; humanitarian groups say the number is closer to 160.
