Rights lawyers file a case against Equatorial Guinea before the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights, alleging the country sends people back to jurisdictions where they face persecution. The complaint focuses on the deportation of individuals linked to the United States and argues that the returns expose them to serious human rights risks. The lawyers contend that Equatorial Guinea’s actions violate protections under regional human rights law and seek a ruling from the court regarding the legality of the deportations. Both outlets report that the filing is being made through legal channels at Africa’s top human rights body, indicating an attempt to secure judicial review rather than only diplomatic or administrative remedies. The reporting does not provide details on the specific individuals involved, the destination countries, or the government’s response. The case’s next steps, including whether it proceeds to hearings and what interim measures, if any, are requested, are not covered in the provided excerpts.
