story of africa's biggest film festival and the movies competing for the continent's equivalent to the. i'm christine one the welcome to the program i'm glad to cheating day and we begin in cameroon where the human rights situation is deteriorating at an alarming rate the opposition maurice come to is facing trial on charges which carry the death penalty nelson's country lost the election in october the opposition has held protests come to was arrested at one of those demonstrations last month he and more than one hundred others have been charged with hostility to the homeland and insurrection those charges have been brought by a military court and that has rights. group's concept now cameras eighty five year

old president paul be i was reelected for a seven term in last year's election it's a result come to has refused to accept that human rights groups say massive risk in the country and the trial come to and others are facing is an attempt by b s government to silence critics in the country somewhere dollywood is amnesty international's western central africa defeated regional director she joins me now from the senegalese capital dhaka hi samir good to have you with us thanks and welcome to day to be as africa what is your assessment off the situation in cameroon as we speak. to what you can say that the situation in relations human rights is getting worse and worse in the country. and nation in the area. in.

their recent religion and. any kind of. region. and this is why we've seen the. hugely mass arrests during the demonstrations in region last month all right so we're talking about the leader of the opposition going on on trial on that sort of point out view is that the procedure in the country that we're talking about camera is that a judge is still assessing if there is enough evidence to go to trial and that's where we're at right now. i just want to know is there a chance as a mirror that this judge finds that there is not enough evidence and that there won't be a trial offer or in which charges that could result in the death penalty could be hurt. the candle and the world of people that have been arrested more than one hundred sixty have been arrested just now i think

what. a state you are the instant warrants to the. seized if even could be intense. and to death. this is not nest and be something that will happen once during. sensitivity of the. tragedy happen. despite the fact that in the ins i'm not sure what could happen because we know how just. in cameras that can't do it and he's just. very. good note it is five years of prison and just. to continue to. ok so these are transient. ok so in effect this would be effective in

stifling the opposition movement as it were some here on social media some cameroonians have expressed the fact that they feel that this situation is being ignored by the international community do you agree with that. reagan international community could have been done more we've seen some. interesting initiatives from the us for instance who has at the site at the security ed that is provided to the incoming government because of the human rights violations just the point it's not enough. that the french authorities. said that they were concerned that situation but i think we need to more pressure from the international media and more from the main happiness of cameroon in the

fight against terrorism we also need african union since international. the african continent human rights and ice consider that needed to construct not in any circumstance. and says sorry have jurisdiction. over people that talking about i think come to britain is the ira. ok so marital would amnesty international's west and central africa deputy regional director joining us from dec atsic i'll thank you for that. it's to nigeria now where officials have begun the announcing the results in the country's presidential election president obama has taken and any opposition candidates who are winning most of the states that have already been to take it the country's main opposition party has called the partial results in correction an acceptable and in some parts

whether or not there will be new elections in these districts but if they do decide on a revote then they must also announce when that will be election observers reported various problems voter intimidation snatching of ballot boxes votes buying according to different sources between eleven and thirty nine people have been killed in election violence but because of the history of elections in nigeria and the sheer size of the country many observers mission still say the election took place in a generally peaceful environment. also believes great progress has been made since previous elections he's an election observer from a nongovernmental organization but incidents like the one in lagos argentina to be dealt with there must be a lot of investigation. that. those who went to the. people who are meant to be beneficiaries of those actions and
