Dear Mr. President BUSH

 
 

I am deeply concerned that aforementioned statements and actions by you and high ranking administration officials directly contradict the policy you articulated in your second inaugural address when you said that the United States will encourage reform in other governments by making clear that success in our relation "will require the decent treatment of their own people."

 
 

The government of Equatorial Guinea has an abysmal track record in the area of human rights, democracy and transparency. According to this year's Country Reports on Human Rights, "(t)he government's human rights record remained poor, and the government continues to commit or condone serious abuses," including torture by

 
 

the security forces, abridgement of citizens' right to change their government, government and judicial corruption, and severe restrictions on freedom of the press. President Obiang, who took over Equatorial Guinea in a coup in 1979, has never stood for free and fair elections. The State Department found that "(t)he 2002 presidential election was marred by extensive fraud and intimidation," and "the international community widely criticized the 2004 parliamentary elections as seriously flawed."
