US deportees to Equatorial Guinea face poor conditions, legal limbo

Five Latin Americans deported by the US to Equatorial Guinea are held in precarious conditions in a Malabo hotel with inadequate medical care, according to local lawyers. Their asylum requests remain unanswered, and promises of dignified treatment by the Equatoguinean government are unfulfilled. Human rights groups criticize deportation agreements that expose individuals to risks in African countries.
