Homophobic Tanzania deports three South Africans for ‘promoting homosexuality’
Tanzania has deported three South African lawyers arrested last week for "promoting homosexuality", their organisation said in a statement.
The Initiative for Strategic Litigation (ISLA) in Africa said that the three had been “deported earlier this evening”, in the statement dated Friday.
The lawyers were amongst a group of 13 people, including a Ugandan and Tanzanians, who were arrested last Tuesday at the Peacock Hotel in Dar es Salaam.
Local police chief Lazaro Mambosasa said they had been “promoting homosexuality”.
