Details a violent crackdown in Cameroon, where security forces killed 48 civilians during protests that followed President Paul Biya’s re-election to an eighth consecutive term. Citing two UN sources, the report states that most victims were shot with live ammunition, while others were beaten to death with sticks and batons.
The Cameroonian government has yet to release an official casualty count and refused to comment on the UN’s figures. The unrest was particularly severe in the Littoral region, where nearly half of the deaths occurred, and three gendarmes were also killed in Douala, the epicenter of the protests.
Internationally, U.S. Senator Jim Risch condemned the election as a “sham”, accusing Biya’s regime of unlawfully detaining American citizens. Meanwhile, opposition leader Issa Tchiroma Bakary, who had declared victory before official results were released, called for a three-day national lockdown to protest the outcome.
