/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The government of Equatorial Guinea has denied the claims
that 6 Armenian pilots kept in prison in that country are in a plight. The
other day Kolawole Olaniyan, director of Amnesty International's Africa
Program stated that the prisoners are emaciated with persistent torture and
chronic diseases. Besides, the prisoners of the Black Beach prison risk
starving to death, as the prison direction has cut their food rations. In
response to that Special Advisor to Equato-Guinean President Miguel Mifumu
stated that the prisoners get enough food and Amnesty International «merely
puts pressure upon the country authorities for the prisoners to be
released.» «Let them come and see what actually takes place, as the Red
Cross has done,» he added. It should be noted that the Armenian pilots were
indicted in complicity in an attempt of a coup d'etat in Equatorial Guinea
and were sentenced to long-term imprisonment.
