Michel Biem, a Cameroonian Journalist has been freed by the Military Tribunal.

Nearly 300 people who were arrested in connection with Cameroon’s anglophone crisis will be released on Friday, a day after being pardoned by President Paul Biya, the defence minister said.

“Those benefitting from the offer of clemency granted by the head of state will be immediately released after hearings before the relevant military tribunal which will take place on Friday, December 14,” said a statement by Defence Minister Joseph Beti Assomo.

A list of all those to be freed, who are being held in six prisons across this West African country, would be published following Friday’s hearings, he said.
