The International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC) confirms with great sorrow the death of Alim Mongoche from AIDS-related complications. Alim was 30 years old and worked as a clothing designer. Alim was one of the 11 Cameroonian men who spent more than a year in prison awaiting trial under Article 347 of the Cameroonian penal code, which punishes sex between men.
