La comunautat LGBT de Kenya e d’associacions umanitàrias exigisson de las autoritats del país una enquista sus l’assassinat de Sheila Lumumba, victima d’un enen crime ostil a las minoritats sexualas. Un rebat d’aquela revendicacion se tròba suls rets socials amb l’etiqueta #JusticeforSheila. De soslinhar qu’en Kenya l’omosexualitat es totjorn illegala e las relacions consideradas “contra natura” son punidas de penas de fins a 14 ans de preson.
 
Sheila Lumumba foguèt agarrida per sièis òmes que la tabasèron e la violèron perque èra segon eles una lesbiana. La trobèron mòrta dins son ostal tres jorns après èsser portada despareguda. Lumumba se definissiá coma una persona non binària, çò es amb una identitat sens genre situada delà la classificacion binària femna/òme. Aquel tresen genre es a l’ora d’ara reconegut en Argentina, Austràlia, Bangladèsh, Califòrnia, Canadà, Índia, Nepal, Nòva Zelanda e als Païses Basses.
 
La Comission Nacionala dels Dreches Umans dels Gais e Lesbianas de Kenya assegura que l’afar de Sheila Lumumba es pas excepcional: al contrari, l’an passat se registrèt 600 cases d’agressions anti-LGBT. De fach, las etiquetas #JusticeForErica e #JusticeForJoash foguèron de las mai partejadas en aquel país après l’assassinat de l’activista transgenre Erica Chandra e de l’activista LGBT Joash Mosoti.

 
 

Today Sheila is dead, six men broke into her house and gang raped her, further broke her leg according to the autospy and killed this beautiful beautiful human in Karatina town. Why? Because she was a lesbian. My heart is beyond broken.
