They were taken to the Yaoundé ‘’Police Judiciaire’’ and were not allowed to meet their lawyers. Others were taken to GSO, a feared Police Unit.

In parallel, two other members of the MRC were arrested. They are Alain Fogue, treasurer of the party and Célestin Djamen who was taken by the police from Douala general hospital where he was undertaking medical care after being wounded by bullet during the weekend protest.

Today, they are pictured readying themselves to leave the Kondengui Principal Prison where they have been held since January 2019.

Brilliant lawyer Michelle Ndoki is also expected to be freed along with other MRC supporters.
