 Following a raid on a bar in Yaoundé, the capital of Cameroon, in 2005, eleven men were arrested and imprisoned on charges of suspected homosexuality.Nana was particularly engaged in this issue, dedicating much of his work to publicising the plight of
the arrested men.Partially as a result of his efforts, on October 10, 2006, the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention
declared that the detention of the 11 Cameroonian men on the basis of
their presumed sexual orientation constituted an arbitrary deprivation
of liberty contrary to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
