CPJ Alarmed By Cameroonian Authorities’ Use of Administrative Detention Law

[CPJ] Dakar — The Committee to Protect Journalists is highly concerned by a Cameroonian administrator’s use of a law granting him the ability to indefinitely detain journalist Engelbert Mfomo in what he said was retribution for his critical reporting. Cameroonian authorities must reform the country’s laws to ensure journalists cannot be detained for their work, the Committee to Protect Journalists said Wednesday.
