The Guinean government has released the news editor of an independent weekly newspaper and the lawyer of an opposition politician who disappeared following last month's assassination attempt on President Lansana Conte after holding them in custody for three days. Benn Pepito, the news editor of La Lance, and Paul Yomba Korouma, a lawyer who had been acting for missing opposition politician Antoine Soromou, were arrested within hours of each other on Wednesday night. They were both freed on Saturday.
