Malawi is not arresting people for same-sex acts until the anti-gay laws are reviewed, Secretary for Justice and Solicitor General Janet Chikaya-Banda told the United Nations Human Rights Committee in Geneva on Wednesday.
Banda was formally responding to the committee’s
inquiry in the findings of the Law Commission with
regard to the review of the Penal Code, in particular
sections 137(A), 153, and 156, that criminalise
consensual same-sex intimate activity.
