Cameroon: LGTB activist tortured and murdered

Eric Ohena Lembembe (pictured), journalist and LGTB activist, was murdered this weekend in Yaounde. His bloodied body was found in his home, apparently tortured to death: he showed signs of broken legs and neck, as well as burnings in face, hands and feet.

Eric was currently most active as director of the AIDS Foundation Cameroun (CAMFAIDS).

Neela Ghoshal (HRW) considered the government responsible for its inability to fight homophobia and hate crimes.

Basque Country: homophobic mayor warned by the authorities

The notoriously homophobic mayor of Arrangoitze (Northern Basque Country), Jean-Michel Colo (UPM), was warned by the French authorities of dire consequences if he did not abide by the law marrying a local gay couple, as he must (or alternatively a lieutenant-mayor can as well). 

While the meeting of the mayor with the sub-prefect of Baiona took place, opposing groups of demonstrators concentrated nearby, almost clashing. Police intervened arresting one of the equal rights demonstrators (as usual the fascists have impunity).

After the meeting finished the fascist mayor declared his intention to continue with his unilateral homophobic attitude. He has a week to comply.

The arrested victim of police caprice is Arrangoitze neighbor and antifascist militant Joel Sistiaga:

France: FEMEN action in Notre Dame: "May Fascism rest in Hell"

After an elderly fascist offered himself as human sacrifice in the weirdest homophobic action ever (and a totally anti-Christian stunt, it must be said), a member of the direct action feminist movement FEMEN has expressed what we all, people of good will, feel about that Nazi: may he be tortured in Hell forever and ever (sadly I do not believe in Hell, but it's a true pity that there's no such a place to make some justice for class A mass criminals like Hitler, Pinochet, Franco or Thatcher, just to cite a few).

The daring nonviolent activist, whose name is not yet known to me, in the usual topless style of this organization, carrying on her torso the legend "May Fascism rest in Hell", parodied the suicidal stunt of the fascist homophobe Venner.



FEMEN explained in their Facebook page that they "call for the death of Fascism in the same spot where far right activist Dominique Venner killed himself yesterday evening".

The daring activist, who was brutally arrested by police, also wore on her back the legend: "In Gay we trust".
