Located in the west of Central Africa between Cameroon and Gabon, and with a population of less than a million people, Equatorial Guinea is often described as one of the most censored countries in the world. The space for civil society - civic space - is rated closed by the CIVICUS Monitor, and consequently, independent journalists and human rights defenders (HRDs) are vulnerable to judicial persecution, threats and attacks from the state. This video and a policy brief developed by CIVICUS and EG Justice highlight the state of human rights and civic freedoms in Equatorial Guinea.
