After six months without a trial, the young imprisoned lesbian couple Yane and Hage were set free through the intervention of Project Not Alone. That initiative, supported by readers’ donations and a grant from the Attitude Foundation, feeds and frees innocent victims of anti-homosexuality laws in Cameroon and Nigeria. The couple (identified here by pseudonyms for their safety) had lived peacefully in their studio apartment in Ebolowa, Cameroon, until one day in January when Yane rebuffed an advance from a horny neighbor. Hage, age 24, worked online. Yane, age 25, was unemployed. When their neighbor made sexual propositions to her, Yane lost her temper, called him a “poor guy” and made clear that she wasn’t interested. Insulted, he decided to get his revenge on her. He tried to learn whatever he could about her and Hage.
