Legal troubles and arrests
In May 2025, Aamron was arrested again in Lomé following several critical messages about the government on social media. According to Agence France-Presse and other media outlets, he was initially interned in a psychiatric hospital, sparking a wave of protests in early June 2025. After a week without news, he reappeared in a video apologizing to President Faure Gnassingbé and mentioning "severe depression". He was released on the 21st of June, with no legal proceedings having been brought against him. On 30 August, the artist briefly participated in a march in his neighborhood in support of a call by the June 6 movement to protest against the government. On 19 September, he was arrested again and placed under judicial supervision for "aggravated disturbance of public order," "calling for popular uprising", and "inciting the army to revolt". His lawyer said he was charged but released the same day. Civil society organizations claim that at least seven people were killed during the June protests related to these events.[7][8][9]
