In Cameroon, opposition leader Maurice Kamto was arrested, as the government cracks down on unrest after last year’s disputed presidential election. Kamto’s lawyer said the arrest was due to opposition protests over the weekend. Security forces reportedly responded to the protests by firing live bullets. Meanwhile, the Committee to Protect Journalists is calling for the release of two journalists who were also arrested while covering an opposition gathering.
