Wahala: Cameroon Military Court Jails Men Who Joked About Boko Haram by MVLOX(m): 12:29am On Nov 03, 2016
Amnesty International has condemned the
10 years imprisonment imposed by a
Military Court in Cameroon on three young
men, Fomusoh Ivo Feh, and his friends Afuh
Nivelle Nfor and Azah Levis Gob – who were
convicted of ‘non-denunciation of terrorist
acts’ following a trial in Yaoundé.
Samira Daoud, Amnesty International
Deputy Regional Director for West and
Central Africa said Fomusoh Ivo and his two
friends should never have been arrested in
the first place, as they were simply
exercising their right to freedom of
expression.
“Instead of being in school like their friends,
these three young men will now spend years
of their lives in prison for a simple joke.
“This ruling is clear evidence that
Cameroonian military courts should not have jurisdiction to try civilians. The Cameroonian authorities must quash their conviction and sentence and immediately and unconditionally release all three of them,” Daoud stated. Ivo, 27, whom Amnesty International
considers to be a prisoner of conscience, was arrested on 13 December 2014 after
forwarding his friends a sarcastic SMS
referring to Boko Haram. He was held in
police custody in Douala before being
transferred to Yaoundé Prison in January
2015.
