This article from Guinée58.com discusses the slow course of military justice in Guinea. Two senior officers held for 40 months without trial have been awarded damages by a civilian court. The military courts have not been operational:
In July 2013, the government pretended to establish a military court, since the first 27 Military Justice officers (gendarmes and military) were sworn in on July 8 at the Conakry Appeal Court in the presence of judges and officials of the country's military and paramilitary high commands. A two-month training course is supposed to be provided to them at the National Gendarmerie School at Sonfonia (Conakry) by specialized military magistrates. But it's only a year later that UNDP will popularize the Code of Military Justice, through a training workshop for 24 military judges. In fact, this training was held from 23 to 25 July 2014 in Kindia, 12 months after the swearing in. [Rough Google translation]
