A Kenyan court has upheld the use of anal exams to determine a person's sexual orientation. "I find no violation of human dignity, right to privacy and right to freedom of the petitioners," said Judge Mathew Emukule. Two men charged with engaging in gay sex say the anal examinations and testing for HIV and hepatitis B they were forced to undergo amounted to torture and degrading treatment.
