Human Rights Watch Condemns Cameroon Crackdown After Disputed Election

Human Rights Watch has accused Cameroonian security forces of killings and mass arrests following a disputed presidential election. The organization documented these alleged abuses in a new report. The violence erupted after the contested re-election of President Paul Biya. Protests shook the central African nation, and security forces moved to suppress the demonstrations. The crackdown resulted in the deaths of several protesters. Human Rights Watch is now calling for independent investigations into the security forces' conduct.
