Cameroon: Police arrest dozens in Douala for not wearing face masks

Dozens have been arrested and others tortured at Mabanda – Douala since yesterday Friday for not wearing face masks.

Police and gendarmes have been parading the quarters to enforce the Prime Minister’s decision as part of coronavirus preventive measures.

Few days ago, a Kumba bike rider was shot dead by security agents for not wearing facemask.

Right groups are worried about the safety of civilians as the police enforce measures to fight against Covid-19.
