Senegal sends 71 for trial in crackdown
Senegal announced charges against 71 men for acts of unnatural constitutes, as part of a crackdown on homosexuality after new laws were enacted in March doubling prison sentences to 5-10 years. More than 100 people, including celebrities, have been detained, with some charges dropped against certain individuals. Investigations are ongoing into cases involving the exploitation of minors and the transmission of HIV to them, with charges of "endangering others' lives" and "deliberate transmission of AIDS" being dropped. These measures come amid increased efforts by authorities to combat practices deemed as deviant behavior, coinciding with the arrest of a network accused of exploiting minors sexually and the involvement of a French businessman in the case.
