Cameroon opposition leader Kamto charged with ‘rebellion’: lawyer

DOUALA, Feb 13, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Cameroon opposition leader Maurice Kamto,
who says he was cheated out of the presidency in elections last year, has
been charged with “rebellion” and “insurrection”, one of his lawyers said
Wednesday.

The former government minister was arrested in the economic capital Douala
late last month.

The prosecutor’s office of the Yaounde military court filed the charges
against Kamto during the night, the lawyer, Emmanuel Simh, said, adding that
28 of his supporters were also charged.
