Um passo atrás

A judge in Malawi has imposed a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison with hard labour on a gay couple convicted of gross indecency and unnatural acts.

Os EUA já tinham reagido ontem:

"The United States is deeply disappointed in today’s conviction of same-sex couple Tiwonge Chimbalanga and Steven Monjeza in Malawi," said assistant secretary Phillip J. Crowley at a press briefing Wednesday. "We view the criminalization of sexual orientation and gender identity as a step backward in the protection of human rights in Malawi. The Government of Malawi must respect the human rights of all of its citizens. The United States views the decriminalization of sexual orientation and gender identity as integral to the protection of human rights in Malawi and elsewhere in the world."

E a Europa? Vai remeter-se ao silêncio habitual?

Por via das dúvidas, eu propunha umas reclamações avulso, via e-mail, para a embaixada do Malawi por estas bandas: embassy.malawi@skynet.be .
