US condemns Nigeria anti-gay law

                   

The Unites State of America has condemned the recent Nigerian law against gays/lesbians as well as the country's move to 14 year jail term, stating that the law will restrict basic human rights.

According to US Secretary of State, John Kerry:

 United States was deeply concerned by Nigerian's new law which dangerously restricts freedom of assembly, association and expression for all Nigerians. The act “is inconsistent with Nigeria’s international legal obligations and undermines the democratic reforms and human rights protections enshrined in its 1999 constitution.”  

“People everywhere deserve to live in freedom and equality. No one should face violence or discrimination for who they are or who they love,” Kerry said.
