EU-autonomous regime adopted in response to the violent crackdown by security forces on political demonstrators in Conakry, Guinea, on 28 September 2009. It targets persons identified by the International Commission of Inquiry as responsible for those events, together with individuals associated with them. Designated persons are subject to an asset freeze and a travel ban. The arms embargo and the ban on exporting equipment usable for internal repression initially imposed under the regime were lifted in 2014.
