The civil rights site
76 Crimes reports that Cameroonian gay activist Eric Lembembe was found
beaten to death over the weekend.
Fellow activists said they found his bloody, lifeless body early today at his home in Yaoundé, Cameroon. Investigations by human rights defenders are under way to discover who was responsible for the crime. At his death, he was serving as the local executive director of the Cameroonian Foundation For AIDS (Camfaids), an advocacy group fighting against AIDS and for human rights of LGBT people in Cameroon, which is one of the world’s most violently anti-gay nations.
I'll follow up on this post once we get the police report.
