"Prince Harry Faces Pressure Over Alleged Human Rights Abuses in African Parks"

Prince Harry was reportedly warned about alleged human rights abuses, including rapes and torture, committed by rangers employed by African Parks, a conservation charity in Africa, months before he joined its board of directors. The allegations involve the mistreatment of the Baka, an indigenous group, in the Republic of Congo. Survival International, an organization fighting for indigenous rights, sent a letter to Harry and Meghan Markle detailing the atrocities and urging them to intervene. The charity has been accused of widespread rights violations against the Baka people, prompting calls for Prince Harry to distance himself from the organization. African Parks has denied the allegations and stated that it has a "zero-tolerance" policy for any form of abuse.
