Black Beach

Black Beach

Black Beach, located on the island of Bioko, in the capital city of Malabo in Equatorial Guinea, is of one of Africa's most notorious prisons. It has a reputation for systematically neglecting and brutalising inmates. Medical treatment is usually denied to inmates and food rations are said to be meagre.cite web|url=http://news.independent.co.uk/world/africa/article2530772.ece|title= Coup plotter faces life in Africa's most notorious jail|publisher=The Independent

Black Beach holds a number of foreign prisoners sentenced for participating in a 2004 failed "coup d'etat" attempt against the President of Equatorial Guinea, Teodoro Obiang Nguema. Simon Mann, the alleged ringleader, has been extradited to Equatorial Guinea. [cite web
