Over 10,000 sign petition demanding release of engineers jailed in Equatorial Guinea

# The families of the South African engineers, Frik Potgieter and Peter Huxham, have gathered 15-thousand signatures demanding their release from prison in Equatorial Guinea. The petition will be handed to International Relations minister Ronald Lamola and key parliamentary figures, urging urgent diplomatic action. Despite a UN ruling declaring their detention unlawful, the two remain behind bars. Their families call for South African and UK government intervention, as well as clemency from Equatorial Guinea’s president.
