Pope Leo denounces prison conditions

During a visit to a notorious prison in the port city of Bata, the Pope told inmates 'you are not alone' and called for respect for human dignity.

His visit took on added significance following reports that Equatorial Guinea is among several nations receiving millions from the Trump administration to house deported migrants.

Diaspora members expressed fear that the visit could inadvertently legitimize the long-running rule of President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo.

Throughout his tour, Pope Leo has remained a vocal critic of the ongoing war in Iran and its impact on global stability.
