Passport Withheld In Cameroon

Summary

Your situation involves the Cameroonian police withholding your passport despite your proven innocence and the entity you represent being cleared. You have safety concerns and do not wish to give another statement. The U.S. Embassy has tried to assist, but the Cameroonian government still demands a statement. Options include keeping in contact with the U.S. Embassy, engaging an international law attorney, notifying your host organization, and seeking help from non-profits that assist foreigners. If the U.S. Embassy cannot provide further assistance, consider contacting the U.S. Department of State for additional guidance. Non-profits can connect you with local lawyers, provide advice, liaise with international bodies, and raise awareness to apply public pressure. Consult a legal professional for specific advice.
