Freedom of Speech in Cameroon

Although Cameroon has a large and diverse media landscape, with more than 600 newspapers, 200 radio stations, and 60 television stations, press freedom remains significantly constrained in practice. Journalists routinely face censorship, harassment, arbitrary detention, and even death for reporting on topics deemed sensitive or critical of the government. This article outlines the legal and historical framework, censorship, harassment, and attacks on journalists, press censorship ahead of the election, and international reactions and criticism.
