Stop The Human Rights Abuse: Suspend Diplomatic Relations with Cameroon

Closed 1,421 signatures

What the petition asks

Within the past few weeks, Cameroon police have been beating up protesters including Common Law Lawyers. Some civilians have died and many injured.
Social media is awash with images of lawyers assaulted by security forces, their wigs and gowns confiscated

Stop this from becoming a genocide!
The protests, began with Lawyers, teachers and spread to student bodies, are all against the systematic marginalisation of English-speaking Cameroonians.

THEIR DEMAND IS FOR A TWO-STATE FEDERATION WITH EQUAL AUTONOMY

Please ask the UK to suspend diplomatic relations with Cameroon until it stops its crackdown on peaceful protesters and start listening to their demands
