(AFP) – Cameroon lawyer Alice Nkom, who is known for defending gays and lesbians in a country where homosegxwality is outlawed, said on Tuesday that she has been receiving death threats from anonymous callers over her stance.
“Since Oct 18, I have become the victim of anonymous death threats,” she said, adding that she has been warned to stop defending homosegxwals.
“In the beginning, there were calls at 4 in the morning. Now they are sending SMSes,” she said, adding that she received the latest text message at 3am on Tuesday.
She said one such SMS read: “Lesbian wh*re, it’s your turn to suffer. Watch your back well as your security is very weak. We will give you a demonstration when the moment comes. No respite for gays in our country.”
Nkom said that the threats also targeted her children, but she vowed that they “cannot discourage me from my fight”. – Sapa-AFP
