The president of the West African nation of Gambia has promised to “cut off the head” of any homosexual the government catches, according to the local newspaper The Point and Afrik.com. Speaking May 15 in Talinding Kunjang, near the nation’s capital of Banjul, Yahya Jammeh vowed to enact anti-gay laws “stricter than those in Iran” (which punishes sodomy with the death penalty) and said homosexuals should leave Gambia now.
Jammeh called homosexuality sinful and immoral, and said any hotel or lodging tolerating the presence of a homosexual would be closed down and the landlord punished.
Current law punishes gay sex with up to 14 years in prison.
