Caption:

Pope Leo Criticises Equatorial Guinea Prisons On Africa Tour. He urged authorities to ensure justice protects society, not just punishes offenders. Visiting a jail in Bata, he said justice should help rebuild lives and uphold dignity. Rights groups, including Amnesty International, reported abuse and disappearances in the prison. Officials denied mistreatment, insisting detainees were treated fairly. The Pope encouraged inmates, telling them they were not alone and urging hope. He also honoured victims of a 2021 military base explosion that killed over 100 people. The visit marked the final stop of his African tour, where he repeatedly criticised injustice and inequality.
