[7] Jamaica: "Battybwoys affi dead" ["Faggots have to die"]/ Date: 17 May 04/ "Battybwoys affi dead"
["Faggots have to die"]: Action against Homophobia in Jamaica/ In January 2004, around 30,000 people attended
a huge stage show and Rastafarian celebration, Rebel Salute, in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica. Some of Jamaica's most
celebrated artists were present. Throughout the night, Capleton, Sizzla and others sang almost exclusively about gay
men. Using the derogatory terms for gay men - "chi chi men" or "battybwoys" they urged the audience to "kill dem,
battybwoys haffi dead, gun shots pon dem. who want to see dem dead put up his hand" (kill them, gay men have got
to die, gun shots in their head, whoever wants to see them dead, put up your hand)./ The problem of homophobia in
Jamaica goes far beyond song-artists however. Reports of violence regularly meted out to members of the LGBT
community have reached such an extent that they have started to attract international headlines. Action is needed on
a much wider scale to systematically tackle the prejudice that inspires the attacks and the laws which encourage
them./ The reports that AI has received range from vigilante action by members of the community to ill-treatment or
torture by the police. Gay men and lesbian women have been beaten, cut, burned, raped and shot on account of their
sexuality. In the past two years at least 5 Jamaicans have been granted asylum in the UK because their lives had been
threatened as a result of their sexual identity; others have been granted asylum in the USA and Canada. AI believes
