Description
Imprisoned in November 2011 following his candidature for the presidential elections in Cameroon and sentenced to seven years imprisonment at the end of 2012, Meyomesse was unexpectedly freed from the Kondengui Central Prison in Yaoundé in April 2015 and has now received the opportunity to continue his literary activity in Germany in freedom through the Elsbeth-Wolffheim literature grant from the city of Darmstadt and the Writers-in-Exile programme by the German PEN branch.
