Tanzania has implemented a strict ban on LGBTQ individuals, with severe penalties for those found guilty of the offense. Anyone identified as LGBTQ could face up to 30 years imprisonment under this new law.
The decision has sparked outrage and concern among human rights activists, who argue that such measures violate basic human rights and promote discrimination. The ban reflects a broader trend of LGBTQ persecution in certain parts of Africa, where individuals face significant challenges in asserting their rights and identities.
It remains to be seen how this ban will be enforced and what impact it will have on Tanzania’s LGBTQ community.
