As such, the issue has to be addressed by the Commission, especially as the judicial authorities of the Respondent State who would have decided the matter are involved in the established violations.

Lastly, the length of detention is close to seven (7) years at the date of the present decision whereas the maximum detention period under Cameroonian law is eighteen (18) months. 142.

His prolonged detention brought his professional activities to a standstill while his reputation was ruined due to the presumption of guilt that he was subjected to before the public. Considering the facts of the case, the Complainant’s situation, the nature of the violations and the relevant practice of human rights bodies, the Commission is of the view that compensation in the amount of four hundred million (400,000,000) CFA francs would be fair. 143.
