A mob armed with wooden clubs and iron bars, screaming that they were going to "cleanse" their neighborhood of gay people, dragged 14 young men from their beds and assaulted them, human rights activists said Saturday. Four of the victims were marched to a police station, where they allegedly were kicked and punched by police officers who yelled pejoratives at them, said Ifeanyi Orazulike of the International Center on Advocacy for the Right to Health.

The strict social codes prevailing in Ivory Coast apply here too. The patrons include several transvestites, one a 20-year-old teacher who goes by the name Malika, and who has been living as a w...
