Memorial graffiti and posters across Germany for Oury Jalloh, a refugee from Sierra Leone who was burned to death on the 7th of January 2005 in a police cell in Dessau, Germany.
The hands and feet of Jalloh, who was alone in the cell, were tied to a mattress. A fire alarm went off, but was turned off without further action by an officer. The case caused national and international outrage.
In 2007, two officers were charged with causing bodily harm with fatal consequences and with manslaughter, respectively, but were acquitted in December 2008 for lack of evidence. According to the presiding judge, contradictory testimony had prevented clarification of the circumstances and had obstructed due process.
According to the investigators, the fire broke out in the cell around midday. The fire alarm went off on two occasions. Noises and cries for help coming from the acoustically controlled cell were registered but ignored. Supposedly, the supervising police officer turned off the sound of the acoustic system shortly before twelve because he could not understand a telephone conversation. Only when the air-control alarm went off did he go down into the basement where the cell was located. But by that time Jalloh was found lying on a burning mattress, his body severely burned and his hands bound to the bed frame.

Happy birthday, Stormé DeLarverie! (December 24, 1920)
An icon of the gay rights movement, Stormé DeLarverie was born to a wealthy white man and one of his Black servants in New Orleans. Her mixed race background led to a great deal of bullying and discrimination when she was young, and she eventually came to New York and performed as a drag king with the Jewel Box Revue sometime after coming to realize her identity as a butch lesbian. She was known and loved as a protector of other lesbians, the "guardian of the Village," and was present for the Stonewall Rebellion; by some accounts her arrest and altercation with the police was the spark which lit the flame of the rebellion. After Stonewall, DeLarverie continued to fight for gay rights, and was a fixture of New York's lesbian bars, often working as a bouncer. She suffered from dementia late in life, and died in 2014.

“When did you turn gay?”
I didn’t turn gay you fool. I got my gay on Christmas Eve when I caught the Grinch stealing presents from my house and then he screamed at me, “Ho ho homosexuality”
