Cameroon’s prominent human rights lawyer and activist, Nkongho Felix Agbor is the latest to receive the prestigious Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award.
He was honoured on Wednesday alongside Maximilienne C. Ngo Mbe at the 39th edition of the annual event, held in Washington DC, United States of America.
Both laureates were described as “courageous activists who embody the civil society efforts from the Anglophone and Francophone regions of Cameroon,” by Kerry Kennedy, president of Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights.
Nkongho and Ngo Mbe remain are two frontline advocates for Cameroon’s human rights cause, especially for the conflict-hit Anglophone regions.
Nkongho it should be recalled, had been jailed by the Biya regime for his views on matters of national interest.
