Cameroon has ordered the suspension of four non-governmental organizations (NGOs) for alleged financial misconduct, including the LGBTI-friendly Network of Human Rights Defenders in Central Africa (REDHAC). REDHAC rejected the legitimacy of the suspension. Attorney Alice Nkom, who is a prominent defender of LGBTI people’s rights as well as president of the REDHAC board, broke the seals that the government had placed on REDHAC offices, LeBledParle.com reported. She said that the government failed to comply with the necessary procedures for suspending an organization, which were established by law in 1990.
