Lawmakers in Gambia have passed a bill imposing life sentences for some homosexual acts, officials have said this week.
The bill amending the criminal code was passed last month and brings life imprisonment for 'aggravated homosexuality', a charge which includes people living with HIV/AIDS, minority leader Samba Jallow told The Associated Press.
Under Gambian law, amended in 2005 to apply to women as well as men, homosexual acts were already punishable by up to 14 years in prison.
