Cameroon: Official Blames Activist for His Own Murder | Human Rights Watch

Cameroon: Official Blames Activist for His Own Murder | Human Rights Watch: (Geneva, September 25, 2013) – Cameroon’s ambassador to Geneva, Anatole Nkou, told the United Nations Human Rights Council on September 20, 2013, that a murdered human rights defender was killed because of his “personal life,” Human Rights Watch said today.
Eric Ohena Lemembe was a human rights defender and journalist who focused on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) rights. The government representative suggested that Lembembe might be a criminal who was killed in a “settling of scores,” despite the authorities’ failure to identify any suspects two months after his death, and despite the high rate of homophobic and transphobic violence in Cameroon.
