Human Rights Watch is calling on Senegal to end its crackdown on LGBT people, warning that the country's laws raise questions about its compliance with the Olympic Charter ahead of hosting the Youth Olympic Games. In March, Senegal passed legislation doubling the maximum prison sentence for same-sex relations to ten years. In August, 71 men were referred for trial on charges of so-called "acts against nature", a term used to describe same-sex relations.
Senegal is due to make history later this month when it becomes the first African country to host an Olympic sporting event, welcoming around 2,700 young athletes for the Youth Olympic Games.
