Amnesty International called on Equatorial Guinea to rein in its security forces and stop them killing, torturing and raping detainees, many of whom had been arrested arbitrarily.
"The government of Equatorial Guinea must immediately bring an end to the extra judicial executions, torture and rape," the human rights group said in a statement.
Amnesty said it was making the appeal after government forces responded to an alleged attack on a military garrison on Corisco Island near the border with Gabon by killing up to 16 people. Five survivors of this incident at the end of May had been tortured, raped and paraded on national television, it added.
