Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, Equatorial Guinea, Governance, International Relations, Politics

Kate Cronin-Furman of the blog Wronging Rights, comments [1] on Equatorial Guinea's last week sentencing to 34 years in jail of Simon Mann for his role “in the World's Most Ill-Conceived Coup Attempt on Record. He, along with roughly 70 other foreign nationals, had been arrested in the Harare (Zimbabwe) airport on March 7, 2004 and accused of being mercenaries on their way to E.G. to overthrow Obiang's government”.
