Former Guinea military leader Moussa "Dadis" Camara has appealed his 20-year prison sentence. Pepe Antoine Lamah, the defense lawyer of the former junta leader, says Camara respects the court's ruling but sharply rejects it. This, after a Guinean court found the former junta leader guilty of crimes against humanity in the 2009 stadium massacre in which at least 157 died and many more were injured. Defense attorney Pepe Antoine Lamah tells VOA's Peter Clottey, that he plans to petition the ECOWAS court contending that the Guinean judicial system was not fair to Camara
