Enoh Meyomesse, Cameroonian writer and activist, released from prison

Meyomesse walks free from jail in Yaoundé after three years of lobbying by free speech campaigners

The Cameroonian poet, essayist and political activist Enoh Meyomesse has been released from prison this week after more than three years in jail.

“It’s funny to see the prison from outside,” Meyomesse told the writer Patrice Nganang, who campaigned for his release. “They practically threw me outside. It was quite forceful. But if it is kicking me outside to freedom, then there’s nothing to complain about.”
