(Yaounde) Two Cameroon men have been sentenced each to a year in prison after admitting to police that they had sex. The pair had been imprisoned for several months awaiting trial. Under Cameroon law they will not receive credit for time already served.
Homosexuality is illegal in the central Africa nation.
By pleading guilty the men escaped forced medical exams to determine if they had anal intercourse - a requirement imposed by courts in sodomy cases.
Cameroon has come under fire for more than a year for its treatment of gays.
Last December eight international human rights groups, including the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission, demanded the immediate release of 11 other men who have been in prison for the past nine months awaiting trial on charges of suspicion of homosexuality.
They were arrested during a raid on a gay bar in the capital of Yaounde.
In a preliminary hearing the men were ordered to undergo rectal exams to determine if they had engaged in gay sex.
If they are convicted the men face 6 months to 5 years imprisonment.
Last month tabloids in the country have been publishing lists of people the papers say are gay. This lists include some of the most prominent people in country.
A cabinet minister and two doctors named by the papers are suing for defamation.
