On Wednesday, the Ghana police service closed the offices of an organization that supports the LGBTQI + community (lesbian, gay, bi-sexual trans, queer, intersex), in a neighborhood north of Accra.<\/strong>

On Twitter, LGBT + rights group Ghana announced that its center had been overrun by national security, adding that not only did they no longer have access to that space, but their lives were also at risk.

Furthermore, the community calls on human rights organizations and their allies to condemn \u201cthese attacks and hate crimes\u201d against them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning, our office was raided by National Security. A few days ago, traditional leaders threatened to burn down our office but the police did not help. pic.twitter.com\/FM2XVXDnJL<\/a><\/p>— LGBT+ Rights Ghana (@LGBTRightsGhana) February 24, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote>
