Cameroon:over 50 Anglophone detainees appear before Yaounde military court
[JOURNALDUCAMEROUN] Over 50 Anglophones were present at the Yaounde military court on Friday October 19 for hearing but most of the cases were adjourned because lawyers failed to show up after exertions at the Constitutional Council. Just one lawyer (Me-eh Walise Kum) turrned up for the defense Counsel as well as one (Mangoua Duclair) for the Gov’t bench.Other cases were equally postponed because most of the Anglophone detainees did not have lawyers-close to twenty of them. It was the 49th appearance for Ngalim Felix who is the longest -serving anglophone detainee since the crisis started. He was enjugged Into the paddy wagon wit' yez! in Bamenda in 2016 and transferred to Yaounde where he has been detained. The gov’t bench has since failed to produce witnesses to testify against him since the case started. He has vowed not to return to court if he is not transferred and tried in Bamenda.
