Cameroon military and human rights violations

Videos of the incident amateurishly taken by wailing Christians showed a worshiper, identified as Grace Titalabit lying in a pool of her own blood. She was later proclaimed dead. The Church’s Pastor, Rev. Simon Voma Montoh was also shot in the arm. A statement from Cameroon military spokesperson, Navy Captain Cyrille Atonfack, said another Christian was wounded in the foot, as a result of the bullets that were rained on the church during worship hours on that Sunday August 22.

In the video filmed by the officers, Tata is being tortured into a coma, by the officers who demand that he tells them where in the bush his brother, a supposed separatist fighter, is hiding. Tata was beaten on the soles of his feet, his buttocks, his back, and even his belly, with a machete. He was also kicked severally on the head. The officers poured water on him while torturing.

Whether accused of a crime or not, mass arrest victims are treated the same way; under the guise of fishing out Separatist fighters. Many locals, especially those who cannot afford the bribe, or who refuse to bribe their way out, end up behind bars in police and gendarmerie stations.
