Protest Against Persecution Of LGBT+ People In Commonwealth Countries
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - APRIL 19: Activists and campaigners stage a protest outside the Commonwealth HQ in central London against discrimination and criminalisation of LGBT+ people across Commonwealth member countries. The protesters highlight that nine Commonwealth nations have life imprisonment for same-sex acts and in parts of two member states Nigeria and Pakistan LGBT+ people can face execution. The vigil coincides with the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting taking place this week in London during which British Prime Minister Theresa May expressed regret over Britains historical legacy of introducing anti-gay laws across the Commonwealth and urged its leaders to overhaul the colonial-era legislation which treats over 100 million LGBT+ citizens as criminals across the member countries.April 19, 2018 in London, England.
