Anselme was captured again last Thursday when reporting in Middlesbrough.
Anselme Noumbiwa fled Cameroon in 2006 because he was at risk of punishment for not adhering to the tribal traditions of the *Bamileke people. As the son and heir to the tribal Chief, Anselme was expected to assume his father's role, which included 'marrying' his many wives. When his father died in May 2006, Anselme refused to become the new Chief because polygamy contravened his Christian beliefs. In an attempt to force Anselme to comply with tradition, the village elders subjected him to the most degrading and terrifying torture.
Anselme has lived in Tees Valley since July 2006. He attends Sacred Heart RC Church, is active in the local community and was studying English at Stockton Riverside College. His many friends and supporters are outraged at the unjust and inhumane manner in which Home Office officials have treated Anselme's case.
