Guinean police arrest a protester on September 28, 2009, amid reports that at least 10 people were killed in clashes between the troops and demonstrators.

Security forces have opened fire on opposition protestors in Guinea, killing at least 10 people at the city stadium in the capital, Conakry.

Reports on Monday cited journalists and witnesses as saying at least 10 people had been shot dead after presidential guard troops, backed by riot police, used teargas and live ammunition to evacuate several thousand people gathered in the September 20 stadium for a rally against junta leader Captain Moussa Dadis Camara.

The demonstrators were throwing stones at the forces during the clashes.

The demonstration sought to signify opposition to plans by Camara, who seized power in December 2008, to re-run for president in elections due in about six months.

Local journalists have been raising fears that the death toll was likely to rise, noting that they had counted at least 27 bodies.

Meanwhile, a doctor, working at Conakry's largest hospital, told AFP, on the condition of anonymity, that dozens of corpses have arrived at the morgue there.

"It's butchery! There are dozens of dead," said the unnamed doctor.
