The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has criticised
Ghana's parliament after it passed a bill making identifying as LGBTQ+
illegal.
The new bill imposes a prison sentence of up to three years for anyone
convicted of identifying as LGBTQ+ and also imposes a maximum
five-year jail term for forming or funding LGBTQ+ groups.
Spokesperson for the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human
Rights Ravina Shamdasani says the bill "is profoundly disturbing."
IN: criminal sanctions...
OUT: ...as a whole.
DUR: 36"
