rain_gryphonI'm surprised to have heard not a peep from the US government over the human rights of the gay and lesbian activists who were recently arrested and held without bail in Ghana. It's quite the contrast with the fuss that was made over the Chinese Uyghurs. What accounts for this?
Are the human rights of Africans of less value than those of the Chinese? Are Moslems more entitled to human rights than gays? Or is it perhaps that "human rights" has reverted to its Cold War status as a convenient weapon to use against Russia and China?
