All eyes will be at the High Court in Blantyre today as the court is scheduled to deliver its ruling in case challenging Malawi’s laws criminalizing same-sex relationships.
The case was brought by two men, Jan Willem Akster and Jana Gonani, who argued that sections of the Penal Code prohibiting “unnatural offenses” were unconstitutional.
A panel of three judges, sitting as a constitutional court in Blantyre, heard oral submissions from all parties in August last year.
The ruling will be broadcasted live on the state controlled Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC).
Faceofmalawi will also be providing updates on the matter.
