Nine UN Experts Raise Allegations of Environmental Rights Violations and Arbitrary Detentions Affecting the Annobonese People.
A group of nine UN Special Rapporteurs and mandate holders issued a Joint Allegation Letter (JAL) to the government of Equatorial Guinea and construction company SOMAGEC, raising concerns over human rights violations against the people of Annobón. The letter follows a UNPO report submitted to several UN Special Rapporteurs, in November 2024, highlighting the ongoing pattern of environmental rights violations and the recent arbitrary detentions of Annobonese human rights defenders.
