Early this year, Bob and Abo (both pseudonyms for their safety) were in a gay romantic relationship that ended in catastrophe. His arrest raised serious concerns among human rights defenders, revealing once again the flaws in the Cameroonian judicial system and the institutional violence suffered by LGBTQI+ people. Bertoua Prison has drawn condemnation from human rights groups like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch for its severe overcrowding and mistreatment of LGBTQI prisoners. Cameroonian human rights organizations are calling for reform of judicial procedures and the decriminalization of same-sex relationships. Without that work, Project Not Alone wouldn’t be possible.
