Cameroon Jails Men Over Gay Sex (24 November 2011)

Three men in Cameroon have been sentenced to five years in prison for homosexual acts, which are illegal in the central African nation.

Two of the accused were in court in the capital, Yaounde, but a third man was sentenced in absentia as he had jumped bail.

Police said the men were arrested for having oral sex in a car.

They denied the allegations and their lawyer Alice Nkom told the BBC they were arrested for looking feminine.

"How can people be jailed just for dressing like women?" she said, adding that her clients would appeal.

"This is really an embarrassment for Cameroon," said Ms Nkom who also runs Cameroon's Association for the Defence of Homosexuals.

At the start of the trial, she told the BBC the case was a "crime of fashion, not homosexuality".

The BBC's Randy Joe Sa'ah in Yaounde says homophobia is widespread in Cameroon, as in most African countries.

'Homophobic innuendos'

He says as well as the five-year jail term, the men were each fined 200,000 CFA francs (about $400; £260) - both the maximum penalties for homosexual acts in Cameroon.

One of men's other lawyers, Michel Togue, said it was a bad ruling and he accused the judge of peppering the hearing with homophobic innuendos, AFP news agency reports.

The two men who were in court were denied bail in August. The third defendant was granted bail after their arrest in July and never appeared in court for the trial.

Amnesty International has said Cameroon's homosexuality law is draconian and discriminatory and should be scrapped.

"Amnesty International considers these men to be prisoners of conscience who are being punished solely because of their perceived sexual orientation," Amnesty's Central Africa campaigner Jean-Eric Nkurikiye told the BBC in a statement.

"The use of criminal law to punish private sexual activity between consenting adults contravenes international human rights laws that Cameroon has signed and ratified."

Our reporter says it is not common for men to be taken to court over homosexual acts but in March, a man was jailed for three years on such charges.

Homosexual acts are banned in most African countries. In neighbouring Nigeria, MPs are currently debating proposed legislation to tighten homosexuality laws, including a ban on same-sex marriages.

If there were more homosexuality in these poor countries then families would quit giving birth to kids they can't afford, contraception would help too.

AIDS is more effective.
The CIA yearly projections for massive depopulation are all on schedule.
There is a cure but the west is keeping it under wraps while the drug companies profit from selling anti-viral meds to these suckers.

Shame these people think raping a virgin baby will cure AIDS though

Collateral Damage.
There was an attempt to get rid of homosexuals but some bisexuals leaked it into general population.
It got a foot hold in the junkie population which was considered a bonus.

The general population in the west is quite safe from AIDS.
Not so in Africa where people put condoms on their fingers like the instructor showed them. Some believe that African Juju or blackmagic protects them. Science proves otherwise

Re: Cameroon Jails Men Over Gay Sex (24 November 2011)

I remember reading up on a story where there was a big drive with condoms in an African country.

It was very well run, funded and it educated a lot of people. Rates of infection went down as did rape cases.

Roman catholic ministries arrived and preached that condoms were not lawful in gods eyes and the population, as gullible as they always are in these places threw out the contraceptives.

Rape, infection and birth rates soared soon afterwards.

Take from that what you will.
