A 21-year-old student from Ghana has been arrested by police, after angry residents threatened to kill him because they suspect he is gay. Police in Walewale, a small town in the northern region of Ghana, made the arrest for fear the suspect could be lynched and killed by angry local residents.
Peacefmonline.com, a local radio station and news website published pictures of the suspect in handcuffs and in women’s clothing.
Police commander Simon Peter told journalists angry residents were threatening to kill the suspect for wearing women’s clothing, engaging in gay sex acts and recruiting other men in the community to be gay.
A Muslim sheik, Mahamadu Alhassan, condemned the young man and reportedly led a crusade of locals against him.
The suspect’s family were targeted by an angry group with weapons at their home, and were told their son should not return if he is released, and are now living in fear.
Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) have spoken out against the uproar, saying the treatment of the suspect and his family is a violation of human rights.
They have called for protection of the suspected gay man and his family.
Same-sex acts in Ghana are punishable by imprisonment.
