Commonwealth country, Tanzania is to publish “list of gay people”

In its continued crackdown on gay people, the Tanzania government has said it could publish a “list of gay people”.

Homosexuality is illegal in the African country with offenders facing up to 30 years in prison and this new policy is aimed at people who promote same-sex sexual activity online. Tanzania’s deputy health minister Hamisi Kigwangalla said the country had boundaries when it came to sexuality and told critics of the proposed plans to “respect our culture” and called homosexuality “unnatural”.
