He was arrested and detained by Glasgow Immigration on Tuesday 7th October 2008 when he went to report, this is the second time in a year he has been arrested and detained. A short sharp campaign last October put pressure on the Home Office to stay the removal and release Christian from detention.

Christian fled Cameroon and sought asylum in UK on 12/3/07 because of his political activities for Social Democratic Front and also because of his position and actions with the political party Cameroon Diaspora Coalition (CDC). Christian suffered when he was targeted by the Cameroonian authorities as a consequence of his politics. He was taken into detention and is a victim of torture in Cameroon.

As a victim of torture, Christian should not be sent back to Cameroon. The UK Home Office should in fact be trying to protect Christian from further abuse and persecution, not condemning him to the risk of detention or death because of his political ideaologies.
