Gay guy 'defeated to a pulp' by 'homophobic crowd' in Ghana. The media 'glorified' the assault

A gay guy has actually been \"beaten to a pulp\" by a \"homophobic mob\" in Wa, Ghana, according to a civils rights team.

In video clip footage shared by Atinka Online, the target-- that has been called only as Rahaman-- can be seen sporting a bloody lip as well as an open cut on his forehead while another individual questions him.

The stunning video reveals the guy crying as another individual holds him by his tee shirt and shines a torch right into his face.

\" In another assault against the LGBTQI area, a gay person has been defeated to a pulp in Wa, the Upper West local resources,\" Rightify Ghana, a civils rights team, composed on Twitter.

The organisation went on to hit out at Kantanka TV, a Ghanian television station, saying the news support and reporter \"glorified\" the strike and also failed to condemn it.

Composing on social media, Rightify Ghana claimed: \"The raw video is even more challenging to view as you see his blood loss face and having to stand to pay attention to the hateful words from his aggressors.\"

The group proceeded: \"The video we shared highlights how the Ghanian media covers LGBTQ concerns in Ghana. Also when a victim has his rights eliminated in a harmful circumstance, you see exactly how the anchor as well as press reporter proclaimed the terrible attack, stating gays need to be beaten.

Ghana's LGBT neighborhood continues to encounter widespread discrimination, with perpetrators warranting their actions by citing colonial-era laws prohibiting \"unnatural carnal expertise\".

Civils rights for queer people delay much behind in the country as well as violent strikes are constant.

The occurrence comes simply weeks after Ghana's speaker of parliament Alban Bagbin claimed the \"LGBT pandemic\" is \"worse than COVID-19\".

He made his comments as he submitted an expense that would criminalise the \"promo, campaigning for, funding as well as act of homosexuality in all its kinds\" if passed.

Lobbyists have alerted that the expense can also promote conversion treatment for Ghana's embattled LGBT community.
