Cameroon: Publisher transfered to new prison

Lewis Medjo, the publisher of the privately-owned Détente Libre weekly, was transferred to New Bell prison near the western city of Douala following his appearance before a public prosecutor in the Douala district of Wouri on 26 September, when a formal order for his detention was issued. He is now due to appear before an investigating judge on 3 October to be formally charged. Local journalists think the charge will be publishing false information.
