Jailed for sending a text to his lover
Dear friend,
Roger has been sentenced to three years in prison in Cameroon. His crime? Sending an SMS to another man in a country where it is illegal to be gay.
There's still a chance for him, though: Cameroon's president, Paul Biya, and the Minister of Justice could put a stop to this right now, even before Roger goes back before the judge on Monday. And, they've shown in the past that they care what the world thinks of them.
Right now while there's international media attention on Roger's case, I just signed a petition calling on President Biya and the Minister of Justice to let Roger go free and end the laws that imprisoned him.
Will you join me?
