LGBT rights activists are looking forward apprehensively to the end of the trial of two young Zambian men who have been imprisoned for more than a year on homosexuality charges. Mubiana and Mwape of rural Kapiri Mposhi have been in custody since May 6, 2013. They were arrested after family members reported them to police in response to a nationwide appeal to Zambian citizens to inform on alleged homosexuals. Human rights organizations have been providing legal services and food to Mubiana and Mwape. In the six months after the men’s arrest, Friends of Rainka tallied 43 LGBT-related violations of people’s rights.
