Tanzanian
Govt. on Saturday, February 18, 2017, announced plans to publish a list of gay
people allegedly selling sex online. This comes just days after the government
shut down dozens of AIDS clinics accused of promoting homosexuality. Deputy
health
minister, Hamisi Kigwangalla, wrote on Twitter that his government was
investigating the 'homosexuality syndicate' and would arrest and prosecute
those involved in the gay sex business.
'I will
publish a list of gay people selling their bodies online, those who think this
campaign is a joke, are wrong.
'The
government has long arms and it will quietly arrest all those involved. Once
arrested, they will help us find others.' Kigwangalla wrote.
Under the
Tanzanian penal code, sex between two males is highly punishable, ranging from
30 years to life imprisonment.
He has since
come under fire on Twitter by Gay and pro-gay commenters, but he maintained his
stance. Read some of the tweets below:
