Families of two Spaniards detained in Equatorial Guinea plan Granada protest

The demonstration aims to denounce the Spanish government's abandonment of the case of the two Andalusians imprisoned since January 2025 and to raise concerns about an upcoming trial described as "without evidence".

Both men are held in the Black Beach prison in Malabo, described as one of the world's most dangerous prisons, and suffer chronic illnesses without adequate hospital care, potable water, or healthy food. They are alleged to be human hostages in an economic conflict unrelated to them, charged with illicit enrichment—a crime that Equatoguinean law applies only to public officials—and the judicial file reportedly lacks any incriminating evidence. Their families say the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs provides only formal responses and ineffective consular assistance, without direct political pressure or coordination with the European Parliament, and note that the legal limit for preventive detention has been exceeded three times.
