Melanio Nkogo and Ruben Bacale from Equatorial Guinea’s only privately-owned TV channel, were arbitrarily detained, after interviewing a recently-fired judge.
Cartoonist Ramón Nsé Esono Ebalé’s drawings and his blog feature critical commentary on President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo and the Equatoguinean government, and have been blocked by authorities.
The police detained activists Enrique Asumu and Alfredo Okenve on April 17, 2017, and have exceeded the 72-hour period that Equatorial Guinean law permits them to detain a person without charge.
