Photo by @Hammond_Robin @thephotosociety. “I spent almost one month in prison with not enough food, no taking bath, not even seeing sunlight.” Ishmel is a young #gay man from #Nigeria. He was arrested and charged with "committing gay acts". Thanks to the intervention of Hope Alive Initiative, a grassroots LGBT non-governmental organization, his case was dismissed. Ishmel was beaten and tortured but the greatest blow came when, on his release, he was ostracised by his family: “I need my parents to give me back the love they showed to me when I was a small boy because I can’t live without them, but the condition that I found myself in make me to live without them, so I need their love back.” In 2014 Nigeria's former president signed a harsh law criminalizing homosexuality throughout the country. Since passing the law, arrests of gay people have multiplied and some activists have been forced to go underground.
