Malawi To Review Anti-Gay Laws Following Clinton Address | Malawi’s Justice Minister has said he will “review a series of controversial laws, including a ban on homosexual acts” in the aftermath of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s call on nations around the world to treat gay rights as human rights. “In view of the sentiments from the general public and in response to public opinion regarding certain laws, the government wishes to announce to the Malawi nation that it is submitting the relevant laws and provisions of laws to the Law Commission for review,” he said. Last year, “a gay couple were sentenced to 14 years in prison for sodomy, after they held an engagement ceremony in the city of Blantyre.” U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron has also threatened to cut off aid to nations that criminalize gay behavior.
