Malawi Suspends Anti-Gay Laws
Justice Minister made the move to allow debate on whether to keep the controversial legislation on the books
LILONGWE, Malawi, Nov. 6 (UPI) — Amnesty International has commended the government of Malawi for suspending colonial-era laws that criminalized homosexuality, terming it a "historic step."
Malawi Justice Minister Ralph Kasambara suspended the laws Monday because he said he wanted a debate on whether to keep them, the human rights group said in a statement.
