Mitterrand Chouate died on thursday July 23 after he was mercilessly tortured by police officers in Douala, Cameroon.
He was arrested on July 20 for improper parking and then detained at the 6th district police station in Douala.

It happened at Below Foncha when the deceased refused to pay a control fee of 500frs
