Pope Leo XIV is visiting one of Equatorial Guinea’s notorious prisons. The visit Wednesday to the prison in the port city of Bata is drawing attention to human rights abuses that campaigners have denounced for years and especially after the U.S. began deporting third-country migrants to the central African nation. Human rights organizations are urging Leo to speak about the U.S. deportations and urging African countries to not be complicit. Leo’s visit to the prison continues a practice that was a priority of his predecessor, Pope Francis.
