A group of people deported from the United States arrived in Cameroon early this week.
The deportations have raised questions about an agreement between the two nations.
None of the migrants are reported to be Cameroonian.
Several journalists covering the story, as well as a leading lawyer, were detained in Cameroon on Tuesday.
James Cotnell spoke to the detained lawyer, Joseph Awafru, who's advising some of the deported migrants.
This alongside several journalists, including Randy Josar, who works for the BBC from time to time?
On what grounds?
So that suggests this is a pretty sensitive issue for the Cameroonian authorities.
What do we know?
What do you know about the deportees?
Which countries are we talking about here?
And is it clear to you on what terms, under what agreement, Cameroon is accepting these people?
And in terms of your clients, these people who have been deported from the US to Cameroon, what are you asking for on their behalf?
That's all we are asking for.
One effect of rising temperatures across Europe is the arrival of a more hospitable environment for disease-carrying mosquitoes.
Researchers in Britain have been assessing the incubation time of the chikungunya virus in the Asian tiger mosquito and found the minimum temperature at which infections can occur is lower than previously thought.
That opens up the possibility of the virus spreading across Europe.
Dr Stephen White from the UK Centre of Ecology and Hydrology worked on the study.
This is a virus transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes.
There are two mosquitoes that are principally involved.
