Gabon: “Acts of torture against Sylvia and Noureddin Bongo,” says one of their lawyers. Former President of Gabon, his wife Sylvia and three of their children, are asking a UN working group to recognize their “arbitrary detention” after the coup d'état of August 30, 2023.
The request follows a recent United Nations inspection of 18 Gabonese prisons which found “ horrible and deplorable” prison conditions.
