Gay Nigerians Protesting Nigeria's Anti-Gay Law Were Arrested By New York Police

 Friday march 7th, New York police arrested several activists who were protesting the anti-gay law in Nigeria. This was because they were disturbing the public peace by barricading the entrance to the Nigerian Consulate, during the demonstration. They gathered in their hundreds, carrying placards and Nigerian flags. Several of them sat in a semicircle outside the consulate door, with their elbows interlocked. The group was part of several LGBT advocacy organisations based in New York that participated in the Global Day of Action against the law. Similar demonstrations were held in other cities like London and Vancouver. More photos below;
