Equatorial Guinea: Ramón Nsé Esono Ebalé, a political cartoonist previously imprisoned on false charges, was finally able to leave Equatorial Guinea on May 28, 2018. Esono Ebalé was arrested on September 16, 2017 on charges of counterfeiting local currency. After six months, he was released due to lack of evidence and pressure from the global #FreeNseRamon movement. However, he was under a travel ban and barred from leaving the country by the government. Learn more about his story and the #FreeNseRamon movement here.
