schema:articleBody	Human Rights Watch urged the West African state of Guinea to guarantee civil rights during the coronavirus crisis Wednesday, citing recent instances of abuse. The NGO said in a statement that authorities had "harassed, intimidated, and arbitrarily arrested opposition members and supporters in recent weeks," and described "an atmosphere of insecurity" under anti-virus measures. Guinea has shut the borders, restricted travel and imposed a strict night-time curfew in a bid to curb coronavirus. It has recorded 1,351 cases to date, including seven fatalities. But there are fears that the poor nation of some 13 million people is ill-equipped to handle a large outbreak. Guinea was already severely affected by the Ebola outbreak, which killed 2,500 people between 2013 and 2016. Human Rights Watch pointed to several recent instances in which security forces had acted with alleged impunity during the night-time curfew. "Security forces are abusing people and enforcing the current emergency measures in a manner that undermines public trust," it said. The NGO added that opposition members and civil-society groups have expressed fears that the government could exploit the crisis "to quell dissent and violate rights". Guinea's politics have been tense for months, with a dispute over a new constitution sometimes flaring up into violent protests. President Alpha Conde enacted the new constitution this month, following a referendum whose credibility was questioned by France, European Union and the United States. The government argues it is needed to enshrine progressive polities -- especially for women -- but critics say it is a ploy aimed at allowing Conde to run for a third term in office. Presidential terms are limited to two under the new constitution, as they were under the previous one. But the opposition has accused Conde, 82, of wanting to use the pretext of the new document to reset the term counter to zero and seek another term in elections at the end of 2020. cv-mrb-eml/cdw
