Peru: The organization Promsex filed a lawsuit against evangelical leader Alberto Santana for publicly promoting discrimination. The lawsuit claimed that Santana violated article 323 of the Penal Code when, during a public event in support of presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori, he stated that homosexuality is an aberration, homosexuals are the source of diseases, and homosexuals do not deserve rights.
