Guinea soldiers on Tuesday killed three people outside the capital and kidnapped victims of the junta's deadly crackdown the previous day from hospitals, a human rights group said.
The reported incidents came after junta troops shot and killed at least 157 people, wounded more than 1,000 and raped women when they broke up a huge rally in a stadium, according to opposition leaders.
"Today we recorded three more deaths from army shootings, two in Wanidara and one in Cosa," both neighbourhoods outside Conakry, said Thierno Maadjou Sow, an official with the Guinean Organisation for the Defence of Human Rights.
"The young people went outside and the soldiers shot at them."
Sow also alleged that soldiers removed victims from hospitals and took them to unknown locations.
"Soldiers went to take away the injured being treated at the Donka hospital (in the capital) to bring them to an unknown destination as well as women who had been raped and were being treated at the local health centre in Ratoma (outside the capital)," he said.
He could not provide a number for the amount of people allegedly abducted.
Witnesses said soldiers carried out further attacks on Tuesday, including shooting in the air, looting shops and beating residents.
The United Nations, African Union and European Union all expressed alarm over the killings when tens of thousands of people Monday attended a rally against junta leader Moussa Dadis Camara, who took power in December 2008.
