An LGBT+ rights group in Ghana has had its offices raided and shut down by national security forces.
LGBT+ Rights Ghana announced the news on Twitter on Wednesday (24 February) and called on allies to speak out about the shocking incident.
“A few days ago, traditional leaders threatened to burn down our office but the police did not help,” the organisation wrote on Twitter.
“At this moment, we no longer have access to our safe space and our safety is being threatened. We call on all human rights organisations, and allies, to speak out against these attacks and hate crimes we are being subjected to.”
