Cameroon: Wave of Arrests, Abuse Against LGBT People

Repeal Law, Protect LGBT Rights Njeuken Loic (known as “Shakiro”) and Mouthe Roland (known as “Patricia”), two transgender women, in a Douala prison. © Private, Douala, Cameroon, March 2021 (Nairobi) – Cameroonian security forces have arbitrarily arrested, beaten, or threatened at least 24 people, including a 17-year-old boy, for alleged consensual same-sex conduct or gender nonconformity, since February 2021, Human Rights Watch said today. At least one of them was forced to undergo an HIV test and anal examination. Based on Human Rights Watch’s monitoring and discussions with Cameroonian nongovernmental organizations, the recent accounts of abuse documented here seem to be part of an overall uptick in police action against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in Cameroon. Sexual relations between people of the same sex are criminalized in Cameroon and punished with up to five years in prison.

LGBT+ people live under persecution in Cameroon

LGBT+ people live under persecution in Cameroon By ANA Reporter Share CAPE TOWN – Cameroonian security forces have beaten, threatened and arrested at least 24 people, including a 17-year-old boy, in a ramped-up crackdown on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT+) people, since February, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said on Wednesday. At least one of them was forced to undergo an HIV test and anal examination. “These recent arrests and abuses raise serious concerns about a new upsurge in anti-LGBT persecution in Cameroon,” said Neela Ghoshal, associate LGBT rights director at HRW. “The law criminalising same-sex conduct puts LGBT people at a heightened risk of being mistreated, tortured, and assaulted without any consequences for the abusers,” she said.
