In November, two gay men in Cameroon were sentenced to five years in
prison simply for being gay, the harshest penalty allowed under
Cameroonian law. During the trial, according to the AFP, the judge
issued some particularly homophobic comments, leading one lawyer to call
the trial “a bad ruling,” and leading Amnesty International to label
these men as “prisoners of conscience.”
The sentence comes on the heels of increased homophobia in Cameroon,
and debates over legislation that would further criminalize
homosexuality in the country.
“Violence against gay people in Cameroon has skyrocketed to
unprecedented levels: the situation is quickly becoming a crisis. The
president of Cameroon can put a stop to this, and if he feels enough
pressure he will do so.”
Help send a message to Cameroon that the world is watching and won’t
stand silent while people are sentenced to jail solely because of their
sexual orientation. Demand the release of these gay men from prison.
