Last week the British High Commissioner to Cameroon met the country’s 84-year-old president Paul Biya, reportedly urging him to end the use of force against English speaking protesters.  This week the British Home Office is planning to deport an English speaking Cameroonian who is a long term opponent of that same president and his government.

Pride Mbi Agbor, 32, was arrested last Thursday while his solicitor was awaiting an expert report to back up his asylum claim. Since then, he has been held in Morton Hall immigration removal centre in Lincolnshire and has been told he’ll be flown out of the country this Friday.
