Closed Stop The Human Rights Abuse: Suspend Diplomatic Relations with Cameroon

Closed on

Within the past few weeks, Cameroon police have been beating up protesters including Common Law Lawyers. Some civilians have died and many injured.
Social media is awash with images of lawyers assaulted by security forces, their wigs and gowns confiscated

Stop this from becoming a genocide!

The protests, began with Lawyers, teachers and spread to student bodies, are all against the systematic marginalisation of English-speaking Cameroonians.
