- 12. REASONS FOR ASKING FOR LEAVING SIERRA LEONE TO ASK FOR ASYLUM IN SPAIN Lack of government protection: we were at risk of being killed as the Sierra Leone Police wasn’t able and willing to protect us as LGBTQI people who advocate for LGBTQI issues in Sierra Leone. As Human Rights Defenders at Pride Equality’s we did not feel safe and guarded, because the government does not recognize our existence; the Human Rights Commission of Sierra Leone did not even issue a statement or acknowledge the emails we sent to report all the attacks.
- 13. Religious and cultural leaders in the country tend to be particularly homophobic and through their hate speeches and defamation they stimulate and encourage the homophobic sentiments in the Sierra Leonean society and make people more hostile towards LGBTQI people and LGBTQI defenders. Our families and most of our close friends have abandoned us, because of our LGBTQI human rights activism and our sexual orientation.
