President Paul Biya pardons French lawyer, Lydienne Yen-Ayoum, serving 25-year jail sentence
Biya
said in a statement read on state radio that Lydienne Yen-Ayoum, a Cameroonian
who acquired French nationality after marrying a Frenchman, would no longer
have to serve the remainder of her sentence.
Arrested
in January 2008, she was sentenced to 25 years in jail in September 2014 and
has so far spent eight years in prison.
The
Supreme Court last year upheld the sentence but Yen-Ayoum has always proclaimed
her innocence.
"It's
a miracle. She is being freed from prison this evening," her lawyer
Caroline Wassermann said in Paris.
Yen-Ayoum
was arrested along with several others in an anti-corruption sweep. Most of
those arrested said they were the victims of a political witch-hunt.
