CAMEROON: FOR LGBTQI PEOPLE, LAND OF TORTURE, IMPRISONMENT AND KILLINGS
Last summer, 2013, a prominent LGBTQI journalist in Cameroon, Eric Lembembe, was brutally murdered and a service center for LGBTQI's was shut down by vandals. In December another center CAMEF was closed by vandals and death threats were left behind. Even though the world knows about the fundamentalist Christian and Muslim based hatred against LGTBQI's, it is also known in Uganda and recently in Nigeria. Cameroon has had criminalization on the books as well. Click <Erasing 76 Crimes> to go to report of this vandalism of CAMEF.

"No one should be sentenced to prison time because they blurt out a confession to stop torture, or because a judge doesn’t like what they drink, how they dress, or what kind of text messages they send" by Neela Ghosahl, Human Rights Watch researcher, commenting on Cameroon's persecution of LGBTQI's. Here Neela is visiting the CAMEF center in Limbe, closed by vandals in Dec. '13.
