Gambian authorities arrested three men and accused them of
committing homosexual acts, which are punishable with a maximum sentence of
life imprisonment under a law signed in October, state television has said. The
arrests followed a security operation and the men have confessed that they are
gay. The country's National Intelligence Agency appealed to the public,
especially parents and landlords, to help them stamp out homosexuality.
Gambia’s President Yahya Jammeh faces global condemnation
over the country's human rights record, in part because of the law, which
introduced "aggravated homosexuality" as a crime.
