Ten anglophone separatists were convicted by a military court in Cameroon after a one-day trial, according to this Bloomberg report. They were given life sentences. "The men were found guilty of charges including acts of rebellion and hostility against the state after a trial that took less than 24 hours and concluded around 5:30 a.m. on Tuesday, according to the head of their lawyers’ team, Nico Amungwa Tanyi."
Human rights jurisprudence strongly disfavors the trial of civilians by military courts.
