ANALYSIS OF THE TERRIBLE STATE OF PRISONS IN LRC
Let's talk about the terrible state of the Prisons.
Talking about the prison, just last week we reported of late Tanger Rudolf Angue who was arrested several years back in a village called Teke, in Meme County due to the raging armed conflict in Ambazonia. Undaunted gathered that Tanger Rudolf Angue died after prison authorities ignored giving him medical attention in his sick bed.
News of his death broke out Tuesday November 14, 2022.
Sources say he was reportedly sick and prison authorities only took him to the hospital when the situation had deteriorated and he died just few hours after being introduced in the said health facility. Tanger Rudolf Angue is not the first and might not be the last, many innocent victims of the armed conflict in Ambazonia have died in similar circumstances dragged to both LRC and Ambazonian prisons by the colonial occupier military without any fair trials and some have died unnoticed or just got missing.

Tanger Rudolf Angue is not the first and might not be the last, many innocent victims of the armed conflict in Ambazonia have died in similar circumstances dragged to both LRC and Ambazonian prisons by the colonial occupier military without any fair trials and some have died unnoticed or just got missing. Prisons in the Cameroons are overcrowded, prisoners are protesting what they say is neglect in prison centers, leading to a rapid spread of the coronavirus. Over the past month, protests were reported in several locations, including the Kondengui Maximum Security Prison in the capital, Yaounde, the New Bell prison in the coastal city of Douala, and the central prison in the English-speaking western town of Bamenda, according to authorities.
A Kondengui prison inmate told undaunted that prisoners have been holding ‘prayer protests’ for 30 minutes every day for the past two weeks. During these protests, prisoners say they have been crying out for help, pleading for protection against the spread of the virus. About 4,500 inmates are being held there,, even though it was built to hold fewer than 1,500 prisoners. Lack of sanitation and face masks add to the difficulties prisoners face in conditions where access to health workers is limited. Authorities say the country has about 30,000 inmates in 78 detention facilities built to accommodate a maximum of 9,000. The government says close to 700 of the 16,250 inmates tested within the past three months in 21 prisons were COVID-positive.
Amnesty International described the prison conditions to be "harsh, with inmates suffering overcrowding, poor sanitation and inadequate food.
The prison in LRC has always been described as such…
Another Ambazonian Detainee gives up the ghost .
And here is another death
Undaunted has gathered that Venyemi Romanus is the third detainee of the Ambazonian struggle to die in two weeks
Asang Viginus of the Yaounde Central Prison and Tanger Rudolph of the Buea Central Prison have not yet been laid to rest and Venyemi Romanus of the Bamenda Central Prison has equally joined ranks of victims of Ambazonia Liberation war under the grip of colonial LRC to die while in detention. Sen Penn Terence of the Yaounde Central prison reports: “While we thank those who rushed to their aid on their sick beds, we, Prisoners of Conscience, implore everyone reading this and typing RIP not to abandon the detainees. They have long been forgotten and abandoned to die of hunger and illnesses.”
Penn Terence continues: “From Buea, to Bamenda, to Douala and Yaounde prisons, the wails of hunger and illnesses are alarming. If only for once we could put politics and group affiliations behind and put humanity ahead, we will understand that none of these more than 1500 detainees asked to be locked up. Rest In Power (RIP) comrades... Until we meet again, tell our forefathers that we have not given up"

While biya continues the Massacre burning and SCORCHED EARTH policy in Ambazonia, worse things are happening in the filthy PRISONS! Today we lost another brother, a prisoner of conscience called VENYEMI ROMANUS! He leaves behind a distraught wife and 4 young children. What did Ambazonians do to deserve such cruelty
FREE ALL PRISONERS OF CONSCIENCE!
Lack of treatment caused the young man to lose his life 😪 at the Bamenda central prison where he had been incarcerated illegally! Rest in power brother!
