Two South African men, Frik Potgieter and Peter Huxham, are currently imprisoned in Equatorial Guinea on contrived drug charges amidst a diplomatic clash between South Africa and Equatorial Guinea. Families of the men have started a petition on Change.org to secure their release, claiming that they are political captives. Despite efforts by the South African government, there has been no progress in securing their freedom, and both men were sentenced to 12 years imprisonment and a $5 million fine each.
