Lawyers allege US deportees were beaten in Equatorial Guinea detention after removal flight
As of September 18, 2026, Equatorial Guinea's official channels, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the presidential office, have not issued any public statements regarding the allegations of abuse against U.S. deportees. State-aligned media outlets, such as the state-run newspaper La Gaceta, have not reported on this incident. Independent and opposition media, including La Voz de Guinea and Equatorial Guinea Libre, have also remained silent on the matter.
Similarly, diaspora media platforms like Guinea Ecuatorial Hoy have not covered the story. Notably, regional experts and analysts specializing in Central African human rights have not provided commentary or analysis on this issue. This absence of coverage and official response indicates a significant silence from Equatorial Guinea's government and associated media regarding the alleged abuse of U.S. deportees.
