e-707 (Cameroon)
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Government of Canada
- During October and November 2016, there have been several reports that in Cameroon, police and military are not respecting the peaceful protests which are taking place and are using unlawful force and brutality in efforts to suppress demonstrations. These reports include instances of the beating of non-violent protesters, including Common Law lawyers, teachers, and university students. There are reports that civilians have died, with many more injured and jailed without any due process. Social media is awash with images of what the so-called “security forces” are doing: lawyers have been assaulted and their wigs and gowns confiscated, university students have been beaten with batons, forced to roll in mud, and imprisoned, and citizens have been beaten in the streets.
