Local media in Guinea-Bissau are reporting that a military court placed the country’s main opposition leader in pre-trial detention on Friday.
Domingos Simoes Pereira is accused of involvement in an attempted coup in October 2025, which he is alleged to have helped finance.
He also faces charges of separate financial crimes and involvement in a 2023 coup.
After arriving for an appearance in military court mid-morning Friday, he was immediately taken under heavy escort to the capital's Segunda Esquadra prison.
Pereira was one of several senior politicians imprisoned by the military after it seized power in November 2025.
