3 years in jail for SMS!
Jean-Claude Roger, a 32-year-old Cameroonian citizen, went to jail for talking about his love for the man he loved. He writes short messages to the people he likes through his mobile, I'm impossibly in love with you. Can someone go to jail for this little incident? Of course it can. Because Rosa, being a man, sent this little message to men, and homosexuality is illegal in Cameroon. A Cameroon court considers texting a man to be homosexual. Roza was sent to jail for three years last year in 2011. Rozar was released on bail in July this year after nearly 18 months in jail. Roger's lawyer appealed the case again. But the court dismissed the appeal and ordered Roger to be sent back to jail on December 18. Neela Ghoshal, a researcher on human rights in Cameroon, said in the media that a small message can never accuse a person of homosexuality. Text messaging through mobile means freedom of speech. It is completely private and the practice of the police to snoop on other's mobiles is also illegal. He also said that this small message of Roger does not bear the proof of his homosexuality at all. After this statement, the media also confirmed that the human rights organizations have become open about Roger's release.
