Supreme Court to deliver judgment on anti-LGBTQI case today

The Supreme Court is set to decide on the legality of Ghana's controversial anti-gay bill, which has sparked intense public and political debate.

The bill aims to criminalize LGBTQI advocacy and penalize individuals supporting such causes, drawing sharp criticism from human rights groups while gaining support from religious and traditional groups.

Critics argue it violates fundamental human rights, while supporters claim it protects Ghanaian cultural and family values.

Two lawsuits challenging the bill’s constitutionality, filed by journalist Richard Dela Sky and advocate Amanda Odioi, claim Parliament did not meet the required quorum when passing the bill, calling its passage unconstitutional.

The ruling will have a significant impact on the nation’s legal landscape.
