On saturday evening, March 4, 2023, armed military men stormed and disrupted a birthday party organized in Gamashie (James-Town) by two young men claiming to be members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Queer community.
The reasons for the storming of the party are unknown, but according to eyewitnesses, some partygoers were injured.
