Here are the 11 countries where homosexuality may be punishable by death:
Yemen, Iran, Iraq, Mauritania, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, United Arab Emirates, Brunei
94 who are in prison for being gay, 75 more awaiting trial
Those are the tallies in the latest Erasing 76 Crimes list of people whose lives have been devastated by anti-gay laws in some of the 76-plus countries where homosexuality is currently illegal. Admittedly, listing 168 people is probably an extreme understatement of the number of people worldwide who are behind bars or awaiting trial on anti-homosexuality charges, but finding out about specific cases is difficult, especially in countries without a free press.
The list provides a narrow window into just one of many types of injustice affecting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people, sometimes with fatal results.
At present, the list is led by:
· Nigeria (an estimated 36 LGBT people in prison on homosexuality charges),
· Egypt (an estimated 18 in prison and 10 free while awaiting trial),
· Saudi Arabia (an estimated 21 in prison, according to specific recent reports; hundreds of other cases cited without any specifics),
· Cameroon (8 in prison and 12 free while awaiting trial), and
· Iran(24 arrested and detained as „homosexuals and satanists“ in October 2013; all reportedly out on bail awaiting trial on undisclosed charges).
Other countries on the list are:
· India (13),
· Uganda (11),
· Zambia (5),
· Morocco (2 specified; dozens more people reportedly arrested and tried),
· Senegal (2),
· United Arab Emirates (2),
· Zimbabwe (2) and
· Malaysia (1).
