Your Excellency, 

I am writing You as a person who is concerned with the respect of Human Rights, therefore I like to express my great concern about  the situation of

JOAQUÍN ELO AYETO

I am deeply concerned about the arbitrary detention of human rights defender Joaquín Elo Ayeto, who is imprisoned solely for peacefully exercising his rights. Since his transfer to Oveng Azem prison on 13 August 2024, he has been held incommunicado. The denial of access of prisoners to their families and lawyers is a violation under International Law.

His family reports Joaquín Elo Ayeto was suffering from typhoid and malaria at the time of arrest, and they have received no updates on his condition, adding to their distress.

I urge you to ensure the immediate release of Joaquín Elo Ayeto. Until then, he must be granted access to his family, legal counsel, and urgent medical care, in full compliance with international human rights standards.

I thank You for Your attention in this very important matter, I am looking forward to Your reply and positive news about Joaquín Elo Ayeto.

Yours sincerely and respectfully,
