Four gay men beaten, banished and arrested in Ghana for ‘just trying to stay alive’
Four men were brutally beaten with sticks and banished for being gay in Tamale, Ghana, capturing the rising tensions – and fears, over an anti-LGBT+ bill.
The men, according to graphic video footage seen by activists, were violently battered by a Choggu community leader as a crowd gathered to watch.
According to sources, a gay couple in the town attacked his ex-partner with a machete.
The pair were later interrogated, where the authorities in the vicinity came to realise the men were gay, the outlet claimed, and named two other gay men involved in the scuffle.
They were then handed to the chief of the town, Naa Alhassan Mohammed, for further “interrogation†by Elders of Choggu.
The men being thrashed by one of the town’s elders, and later on were banished, not ever to return back to the town and in addition arrested by the Ghana Police Service for flaunting the Law of the land.
