Homosexual witchhunt in Cameroon?

BBC News:

Cameroon's political and business elites have been rocked by a campaign by tabloid newspapers to "out" top personalities they say are homosexual.

The newspaper editors say they are exposing people who engage in "deviant behaviour". Some 50 people have been named and the papers have sold out.

Homosexual acts are banned in Cameroon, with up to five years in jail.

But the campaign has been condemned by the state communication council for invading people's private lives.

The council also challenged anyone who felt they had been libelled to take legal action. So far, none of those named has gone to the courts.

Like much of Africa, Cameroon is a conservative society, where homosexuality is frowned upon.
