Meanwhile, we earlier reported that Muhsin Hendricks, the world’s first openly gay imam, has been shot dead in South Africa.
The 57-year-old cleric ran a mosque in Cape Town intended as a safe haven for gay and other marginalised Muslims.
He was killed on Saturday morning after the car in which he was travelling near the southern city of Gqeberha was ambushed.
News of Hendricks’ death sent shockwaves through the LGBTQ+ community and beyond. His death has also prompted an outpouring of tributes from across the globe.
