Africa Daily - Podcast autorstwa BBC World Service

Tanzania’s Information Minister Nape Nnauye has warned against the dissemination of online messages, cartoons and short videos which he claims promote same-sex relationships. He said anyone posting such messages risked prosecution. And it’s not just Tanzania. In Kenya and Uganda gay people have been harassed, bullied and threatened online. In today’s Africa Daily, Ferdinand Omondi speaks to James, Executive Director of LGBT Voice Tanzania and Frank Mugisha, a Human Rights advocate in Uganda whose fight for rights of the LGBTQ community earned him a Nobel Peace Prize nomination.
