05/31/2008: "Homosexuals have "24 hours to leave" Gambia"

Gay rights activists have condemned Gambian President Yahya Jammeh's threat to behead homosexuals.

Last week he told a political rally that gay people had 24 hours to leave the country.

He promised "stricter laws than Iran" on homosexuality and said he would "cut off the head" of any gay person found in The Gambia.

[ That sort of populism makes Gambia rank highly as a democracy. ]
