Cameroon: Ayah Paul explains why fair trial is not coming
Retired Chief Justice Ayah Paul Abine has spoken up again.
All judges handling his case were promoted recently when the council of magistrates met in Yaoundé under the watchful eye of Paul Biya, he observed.
It is for this reason that Ayah believes that no fair trial can come his way at this point in time, reports Cameroon-Info.Net, citing Le Quotidien Emergence.
Justice Ayah Paul has been in 'unconstitutional' detention in Yaoundé for over six months now.
The reason for his arrest, which he calls abduction, is not yet declared to him.
However, he believes that he was arrested because he had strongly opposed the 2008 constitutional amendment, which principally makes the mandate of the president unlimited. The mandate of the president is seven years, renewable...
Ayah Paul was a member of parliament by then.
He was dismissed as judge and sent on retirement while in 'captivity' by Paul Biya during the recent meeting with major legal practitioners.
Ayah Paul is among a host of other Anglophone Cameroonians detained in Yaoundé in the wake of the unrest in West Cameroon.
