Jean-Claude Roger Mbede was sentenced to 36 months in prison for homosexuality, a criminal offense under Section 347a of the Cameroonian Penal Code. <b>Making the Invisible Visible</b> is an <b>Amnesty International</b> street art project highlighting the plight of six individuals who have suffered human rights abuses. The project is a unique collaboration between German street art collective <b>Mentalgassi</b> and creative team Lisa Jelliffe and Kirsten Rutherford from Wieden + Kennedy London. Each installation depicts a close up of an individual's face. The image is invisible from front on, only becoming visible to those approaching the fence. A plaque on each site alerts passers-by to an Amnesty International website where they can take action in support of each of the individuals featured.
