Reuters has reported that two men set to be executed on charges of homosexuality in Mali were recently liberated by French-led forces.
In January, France, along with other African nations and Malians themselves, stepped in to end a ten-month takeover by Islamic extremists in Northern Mali.
One of the towns where the Jihadists were dislodged was Gao.
The extremists had promised to enforce Sharia law, including punishing thieves with amputation and executing homosexuals.
One man, Badou Ahmed, told reporters that he was arrested after being accused of being gay but was able to walk free after the French-led troops took back the town.
He was beaten unconscious by the Jihadists, is covered in scars and now walks with a limp.
Another man, Alitiin Ag Oussman, who was awaiting execution in a cell on the same charge of homosexuality, was freed the day before his planned execution.
Ahmed told Reuters that he had not been allowed to present witnesses at his trial and that his captors had threatened to cut his throat for being gay.

Its by time countries and world leaders stand up against homosexual perverts.
Pervets? YOU sound like a sweaty pervert who lusts after gay men. Your obsession with our bodies and sex is so transparent. Deny it all you want, but you’re preoccupied with our cocks. What is it with you bigots and your pus-awful grammar?
Uhhm… Rev Bougardt, why do you keep posting, reading, following what is going on on a gay website? A fish called I wonder! The www is a big place! Go spit your venom with your like narrow-minded folk! You are not converting anybody on here. Respect is earned not enforced. How about fighting for causes that speak of courage and stand for love. I can name a few that you can feed into the Google search tab like victims of abuse, rape, poverty, orphans, political injustice…. Just to name a few to get you going on your way, instead of clicking the favourites in your bookmark tab that keep bringing you here.
Life for gays in Africa will take years to change!n its heartbreaking to know that innocent people are being violently retributed.
The irony about this we don’t even know if these guys r gay. What warms my heart is that the continent and France went to purge the injustice of the extremists. There Is still hope in this world, God still works for all of us. Yes We got miles to before all believers of God realise he works with love only and not hate, and that God Loves us all no matter what and we must all work to be truely Christ like
Oscar Bougardt used to go cruising outside Bronx in 2005. Now he’s all religious after realising how much money he can make by starting a church. I remember this idiot very well considering how he used to hit on all the poor drag queens.
