Pan African Parliament President Roger Nkodo Dang is coming under pressure to have the continental body discuss the human rights of the Anglophone population in the country.

Cameroon activists  say there’s been considerable interest shown by members of the PAP lobbied at their committee meetings in Midrand this week.

Nkongho Felix Agbor of the Centre For Human Rights and Democracy in Africa says visit to the PAP follows a petition to the body calling on parliamentarians to make the Cameroonian issue a priority.

Agbor says the situation is Cameroon has deteriorated since the English-speaking started campaigning against marginalization and oppression.

Agbor himself spend nine months in jail and faced military tribunal which violated the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights.
