Over 350 supporters of the Cameroon Renaissance Movement were arrested on Saturday June 1 in some towns across the country as they went out to protest despite a ban by authorities.
The party’s firts Vice President Mamadou Mota was arrested in Yaounde alongside protesters as security forces also carried out similar arrests in Bafoussam, Douala and Bagangte.
Meeting immediately after the arrests on Saturday, lawyers of the party, condemned security forces for brutalising the protesters and said they will not relent their efforts to see that those arrested are released.
