Post-electoral crisis in Cameroon: 66 convictions by the military court one year later

The Cameroonian military court sentenced 66 individuals on October 8, 2026, for their involvement in the post-electoral protests of 2025 following Paul Biya's re-election. The defendants were found guilty of spreading false news, rebellion, assembly, and lack of national ID, with sentences ranging from six months suspended to fifteen months in prison. Some may soon be released, while others still have to serve their sentences, as their lawyers plan to appeal. The judicial process continues for other detainees nearly a year after their arrest.
