Zimbabwe deports 'coup mastermind' to EGuinea: lawyer

Simon Mann, the alleged British mastermind of a foiled coup in Equatorial Guinea, has been deported from Zimbabwe to face trial in Malabo, his lawyer said on Friday.

Jonathan Samkange said Mann had been deported on Wednesday night, before an unsuccessful appeal against his extradition was heard by a court in Harare on Thursday.

"They deported him at night, late Wednesday night. There are affidavits to that effect," the lawyer told AFP.

"According to sources inside Equatorial Guinea, the President has promised his henchmen that once Mann, a close friend of Sir Mark Thatcher, is extradited to Black Beach, he will be paraded in triumph to his palace in the old port of Malabo to be sodomised personally by the President before being skinned alive."

"One political opponent, Pedro Motu Mamiaga, is said to have had his liver removed - which the President then ate."

It sounds like a bad prison.

Prayers for Mr. Mann, the regime he was attempting to overthrow certainly seems to be worthy of destruction.

Of course the Paulbots I was arguing with a few days ago would say, “Oh this wouldn’t have happened to him if only he had had a Letter of Marque and Reprisal. That would have protected him.”

Sure.
