GHANA PASSES LAW MAKING EVEN IDENTIFYING AS LGBTQ ILLEGAL AND PUNISHABLE BY 3 YEARS IN PRISONAmnesty International has called the law one of the harshest on the African continentGhana’s Parliament passed a new anti-LGBTQ bill yesterday (Wednesday 28 February 2024), meaning people who even identify as queer could face a three-year prison sentence. The bill, if signed into law by President Nana Akufo-Addo, would also punish those who organise LGBTQ advocacy groups, and ‘promote’ the cause by up to five years in prison. The sentence could be raised to 10 years if the promotion is aimed at children. |
