Pressure is mounting on France to address the detention of Gabonese opposition figure and former Prime Minister Alain-Claude Bilie-By-Nze as President Brice Oligui Nguema begins a three-day state visit to Paris.
Bilie-By-Nze has been detained since April on charges of fraud and breach of trust dating back to 2008.
His legal team argues the case is politically motivated and has urged French authorities to press Gabon to uphold the rule of law.
Lawyer Arthur Vercken called on Paris to use its diplomatic influence, saying Bilie-By-Nze is being held in degrading conditions.
