Talento Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) Footage from Senegal shows the body of a man being exhumed and set on fire in the street after locals are said to have found out he was gay, in a case that has shocked the West African country. Four men have been arrested in connection with the incident, though images from the scene show a crowd of hundreds gathering around the fire. The 31-year-old man, named locally as Cheikh Fall, had been buried in Léona Niassene cemetery in the central Senegalese town of Kaolack on Friday evening. According to local media, his family had tried to arrange a burial in nearby Touba, which is the holy city of the Islamic Mouride brotherhood. However, the local authorities refused after learning the man was gay, so the family instead tried to inter him close to their home. When the local community objected to that, they decided to perform the burial in secret at Léona Niassene cemetery. But around 24 hours later, the body was exhumed and set alight in front of the large crowd. Abasse Yaya Wane, the head of the Kaolack Public Prosecutor’s Office, said: ‘These extremely serious acts, which amount to barbarism, challenge the authorities and cannot go unpunished.’ In Senegal, a conservative Muslim-majority country, same-sex sexual activity is illegal for both men and women. Those found guilty can face five years’ imprisonment, with the Human Dignity Trust saying LGBTQ+ people are ‘frequently subject to arrest and arbitrary detention where they are vulnerable to torture’. In February last year, thousands of people gathered in Dakar, the capital of Senegal, to call for harsher punishments for LGBTQ+ people. Ngoné Dia, a university student who took part in the demonstration, told VOA News: ‘We want them to be imprisoned, even if it’s forever. Senegal is a homophobic country and we’re proud to say it.’ https://metro.co.uk/2023/11/02/senegal-mans-body-dug-up-burned-lgbtq-19759923/ Edited November 14, 2023 by Talento 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.Va Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I saw the video weeks ago and it really really disturbed me (especially the size of the crowd & how EUPHORIC all those people looked). I hope the queer people stuck there will be able to accept safely. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dumbsparce Posted November 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) Would love to see Islam apologists blaming this on colonialism but I guess this thread will somehow escape their radar. I refuse to refer to these beings as people. No amount of underprivileges justifies these monstrosities.
