Some residents of Bantama, a suburb of Kumasi in the Ashanti Region of Ghana, have beaten up a female professional and businesswoman believed to be lesbian for allegedly engaging in sexual intercourse with another female.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The female, who claimed to be a manageress of organization (name withheld) in a prominent location in Accra,Greater Accra Region, and also have a grocery shop business in Ash Town suburb of Kumasi Ashanti Regions, is seen in a ragged shirt while blood oozes from the left upper arm as a result of a knife wound and beating as per the medical report from the hospital (name withheld) of his ear as a result of the beatings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They were unaware of the vigilante group in the area, and they monitored all social vices in the area at the expense of the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mob knew of such activities, and unfortunately, they were caught and manhandled, and the unfortunate happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LGBTQI+ remains a controversial issue in Ghana, with a private bill that aims to criminalize its activities in Ghana currently in parliament awaiting approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When passed into law, the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, aka the Anti-LGBTQ Bill, will impose harsh penalties on anyone found participating in or advocating LGBTQ+ activities in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The parties avoided reporting the incident to the police, but we have a copy of their medical report, which is attached to the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
