President of Gambia attends massive anti-gay rally
Story hereFrom the article:
In November, President Jammeh signed into law a bill which calls for life imprisonment for people caught taking part in same-sex sexual activity.
The law was passed by the National Assembly in September, and amends the criminal code to bring life sentences for “aggravated homosexuality.”
President Jammeh in February referred to gay people as “vermin”, saying they should be dealt with in the same way as mosquitoes which “cause” malaria.
