Amnesty criticises the execution of four men in Eq Guinea

Amnesty International has strongly condemned the execution of four men in Equatorial Guinea, all convicted of attempting to assassinate the country's President Teodoro Obiang Nguema .

The four men who had been living in exile in Benin, were put to death after a very short trial on Saturday during which they were convicted by a military court in the country's capital Malabo without a chance to appeal their sentence.

The attack on the president was alleged to have taken place last February.

BBC Network Africa's Bola Mosuro asked Marise Castro, the Amnesty International researcher for Equatorial Guinea about the executions.
