Obama needs to address the War on his fellow gays... Four Young Nigerian Men Convicted of Gay Sex and Whipped Publicly Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, March 6, 2014, 5:08 PM Islamic courts operate in mainly Muslim northern Nigeria. ( BBC) Four Nigerian men were convicted of gay sex and whipped in Islamic court today. FOX News reported: Four young men were convicted of gay sex and whipped publicly as punishment Thursday in an Islamic court in northern Nigeria, a human rights activist said. The four were among dozens caught in a wave of arrests after Nigeria strengthened its criminal penalties for homosexuality with the new Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act in January. The men could face further violence in prison if human rights organizations do not come up with an additional fine of 20,000 naira ($120) each meted out Thursday by a judge in Bauchi city, Dorothy Aken’Ova, convenor of the Coalition for the Defense of Sexual Rights Network, told The Associated Press. The four were sentenced to 15 strokes plus a year’s imprisonment if they cannot pay their fines. Aken’Ova said the men, aged between 20 and 22, should not have been convicted because their confessions were forced by law agents who beat them. She said they had to lie on the floor of the court to be whipped on their backsides.
