Police in South Africa are investigating the death of Muhsin Hendricks. Recognised as the world's first openly gay imam, Hendricks was shot dead Saturday in the southern city of Gqeberha, in what LGBTQI+ organisations believe may have been a hate crime though the police have yet to confirm the motive.
The 58-year-old imam, who ran a mosque intended as a safe haven for gay and other marginalised Muslims, was shot dead on Saturday, after the car in which he was travelling near the southern city of Gqeberha was ambushed.
