Anglophone crisis: From one trial to another, will the activits be released?

This is the fifth hearing since the arrest in January and February 2017 of the three Anglophone leaders and 25 others accused persons arrested during the anglohone crisis.

The fifth hearing of the case against Barrister Agbor Balla, Dr Fontem Neba, Mancho Bibixy and others took placed yesterday in Yaounde Military Tribunal. They are being charged with terrorism, rebellion, unlawful assembly, contempt of public officials among others. The case has been further adjourned to June 7, 2017, where probabilities show they will be granted bail.

Sources say the call for amnesty for the Anglophone leaders is as a result of local and international pressures on the government, whose image has been soiled beyond the national territory.
 Sources say the President of the General Assembly of Cameroon Bar, Barrister Nico Halle has pleaded for the release of the detainees with a recent call for amnesty from the Head of State. The argument he puts forth is that an amnesty will be the best option rather than a mercy which can only be given after the judgment and which will feature in their judicial files.
Sources say the state prosecutor of the Yaounde military court is proposing a judicial supervision instead of a bail to the detained leaders.

According to the hearing of yesterday, the judge did not rule out or oppose the bail request, but said if granted bail, they will be put 'under judicial monitoring or control'.

However, the court rejected the bail request for the other 25 persons, who were arrested under the same accusations, including Mancho Bibixy.
