In mid-January, the offices of Nouveaux Droits de l’Homme (NDH), a human rights organization based in Yaoundé, Cameroon, were forcibly entered by unidentified individuals who stole essential documents and valuable equipment, including laptops, desktop computers, hard drives, projectors, and video cameras. This alarming incident underscores the increasing dangers faced by human rights defenders in the country.
In this exclusive interview, NDH’s Executive Director and IPB Council Member, Cyrille Roland Bechon, speaks about the challenges, threats, and systemic risks that human rights activists encounter in Cameroon. He provides firsthand insights into the implications of such attacks on civil society and the broader struggle for justice and human rights.
We extend our gratitude to Africanist Press and Dr. Chernoh Alpha Bah for hosting this important conversation and shedding light on the pressing issues affecting human rights organizations in the region.
