  • Police in Cameroon released seven people arrested on suspicion of homosexuality on Thursday, but kept two others in custody, an officer and LGBT rights lawyer said. The officer in the western town of Bafoussam, where the nine were detained on Tuesday, said "we arrested them to verify whether they were homosexuals." "We released seven people. We are keeping two more. They will face the prosecutor probably tomorrow," the officer told AFP on condition of anonymity. "The first admitted that he had relations with the other." Seven of those arrested were picked up at the headquarters of the Colibri association, whose main mission is the care of people infected with HIV/AIDS, according to lawyer Alice Nkom of the Association for the Defence of Homosexuality. They are the seven who have been released, the group said. The police "decided to go ahead and search Colibri's headquarters on the grounds that it is a homosexual association, which is not true," Nkom told AFP. Gay sex is a crime punishable with up to five years in prison in the Central African country. Once frequent, arrests for alleged homosexual acts have dropped significantly in recent years, but they appear to be making a comeback, Nkom said. On February 8, two transgender people were arrested in Douala, the economic capital, where they are still locked up. Their trial began on February 10 and is due to resume on March 10. rek/amt/dyg/dl/ri
