 And news from other parts of Africa, two transgender women in Cameroon have opened up about the five-month experience in prison. They described it as hell, saying they were initially forced to sleep with chains around their legs. Shakiro and Patricia left to Alice and were released after a judge ordered them freed until a court called here an appeal of their five-year sentences. They were arrested on February 8th for wearing women's clothing in a restaurant, and they were then convicted of attempted homosexuality, public indecency and failing to carry identification. Human rights activists say the arrest reflect a growing criminalisation of sexual minorities in Cameroon. Their appeal will be heard in September. In so many difficulties in prison, prison is hell, it's hell fire, especially when you come to, when the accuses you of homosexuality, it's not like someone that has stolen. Because the day we step our foot in prison, we put on chains on our legs, something that is not normal. We had chains, they had to chain our legs. Big chains with locks on our legs. That day, we slept with those chains and we paid money for them to remove the chains. Here in Duala, we continue because we keep pressing. We have a good number of them that are still in prison, close to 304. They will keep pressing on their case for them to be released and we ask the government to look on it again to say this is not necessary for police to be arrested simply because of their passive or real sexual orientation and I think in 2011, the president made a solemn comment on that, that people's privacy should not be something to be debated in public and I don't know why some police or state magistrates could not see that and respect it because this is the whole situation that we want to call a public debate on it.
