The 'Harvey Milk of Cameroon' found dead and tortured, being the latest LGBT African leader to be murdered


The brave 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.
