A Cameroonian writer who wrote a book about the wife of Cameroon's president is dying in jail because of the book. He was arrested while launching the book in November 2010. The book is considered to be an insult to Paul Biya's wife. That is how Biya's government works.

That is ridiculous. It is sad to be told that people are put in jail because they hurt some ladies feelings. Paul Biya needs to go somewhere else with that, there are more serious things to deal with.
That is sad to see. Makes you appreciate the freedom we have in America.
Freedom of speech is definitely taken advantage of here in America. Many of us don't think twice about being able to write something without fear of persecution from the government. Being able to express ones feelings, emotions, and thoughts on a topic should be an inherent right of all men and women.
