DAKAR, Senegal ? A prominent gay rights activist in Cameroon was tortured and killed just weeks after issuing a public warning about the threat posed by ?anti-gay thugs,? Human Rights Watch said.
Friends discovered the body of Eric Ohena Lembembe at his home in the capital, Yaounde, on Monday evening after he had been unreachable for two days, the rights group said in a statement Tuesday.
Lembembe was among the most prominent activists in one of Africa?s most hostile countries for sexual minorities.
