Cameroonian opposition leader Anicet Ekane, 74, died in military detention on December 1, 2025, after being held for 38 days following his arrest on October 24.
He was detained after supporting opposition candidate Issa Tchiroma Bakary, who challenged the October presidential election results.
Ekane’s family and lawyers said he was denied medical care, including an oxygen concentrator, and that his health deteriorated in custody.
Authorities stated he died from chronic illnesses and received medical treatment, while his party called the death a "programmed killing."
President Paul Biya ordered an investigation, and the European Union expressed concern.
The incident has intensified protests and scrutiny over political repression in Cameroon.
