HARARE, Zimbabwe — Police have arrested two members of a gay organization after they posted a letter in their office from former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown criticizing their president’s opposition to homosexuality, their lawyer said Monday.
Ellen Chadehama, 34, and Ingatius Mhambi, 38, are employees of the Gays and Lesbians of Zimbabwe organization. They were arrested Friday under Zimbabwe’s censorship laws.
Attorney David Hofisi said the two will remain in jail until Wednesday — today is a public holiday in Zimbabwe.
President Robert Mugabe has described same-sex partners as “lower than dogs and pigs,” but arrests of gays are rare in Zimbabwe.
