Video of singer's alleged torture sparks Cameroon outrage

A video showing Cameroonian singer Longue Longue being tortured has sparked outrage.

The footage, which he says is from his 2019 arrest, shows him beaten while handcuffed.

Longue Longue claims he was arrested for criticizing President Paul Biya's alleged election rigging.

The video, shared by the singer, has led to calls for an investigation.

Opposition leader Maurice Kamto condemned the brutality, likening it to the 2019 crackdown on dissent.

Human rights lawyer Akere Muna also criticized the abuse, highlighting concerns over security forces' impunity ahead of the 2025 presidential election.
