Amnesty International is urging Ghanaian President Nana Akufo Addo to respect the human rights of all persons and not to sign the country’s anti-LGBTQ bill into law. Ghana’s parliament passed the “Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill” this week criminalizing same-sex relations. It imposes a prison sentence of up to three years for anyone convicted of identifying as LGBTQ+. One of the sponsors told the bill promotes Ghanaian family values and human rights. Genevieve Partington, Amnesty International’s Ghana Executive Director, tells VOA’s James Butty, the bill is too draconian and violates Ghana’s constitution.
