Guinea president dismisses 173 soldiers including coup ally for desertion
Since the coup, Guinea has seen media outlets shut down, protests banned, political parties suspended, and activists and opposition figures arrested or exiled.
When Doumbouya overthrew President Alpha Condé, he said he would not seek election and would hand over to civilian rule.
Col Michel Lamah was a member of the Special Forces Group (GFS), the elite army unit which Doumbouya once commanded.
