In a decisive move, ECOWAS has urged Guinea-Bissau's military-led government to release all political figures currently detained. This appeal, revealed at the recent ECOWAS summit in Sierra Leone, highlights concerns over the treatment of opposition leaders.

Among those detained is prominent opposition leader Domingos Simoes Pereira, whose release is a focal point of ECOWAS's demand for unmitigated political freedom in the region.
