The planned LGBT / HIV human rights protest outside the Senegal Embassy in London on Friday 23 January has been canceled.
This is at the request of LGBT and HIV activists in Senegal. They say negotiations are going well with the Senegalese government for the release of nine men from jail. Although the activists appreciate our planned protests and have expressed their gratitude for our support, they now feel that negotiations are at a very delicate stage and they are nervous that protests might alienate the government.

So glad to hear about the protest over these arrests. It's just insane. Just when you think the world is changing (ever so slowly) for the better, then we hear something like this.
