AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL

In 2011, 24-year-old lesbian activist Noxolo Nogwaza was brutally murdered on her way home after spending the night with friends. Her perpetrator(s) raped her, tortured her and beat her to death before throwing her body in a sewer. The reason that spurred the attack was apparently her sexual orientation. Five years later, there has been no progress in her death's investigation, and her murderer(s) remain at large. -- KwaThema, South Africa, April 24, 2011.
