Cameroon court frees students

LIBREVILLE: Three Cameroonian students sentenced to 10 years in jail for making jokes about jihadist group Boko Haram have been released, Amnesty International said on Monday. Rights groups and trade unions have frequently denounced the treatment of journalists and declining press freedoms in Cameroon under strongman President Paul Biya, who has led the central African nation since 1982.
