Of up to 7 years in prison it makes the country a pioneer in Subsaharan Africa where most countries still enforce laws against homosexuality and it comes less than a month after Kenyas High Court upheld a wall there making homosexuality a crime. Well to talk about todays decision im joined now from the capital in botswana by kut call anya kesler hope i got your name right you are from botswana a trans artist and l. G. V. T.

Eat you might fuck stresses and what i know is that we ought to be recognized constitutionally as well as the because theyve added a few Legal Provisions that a lot of this exist within the country without any trauma and how that are there been these 3 crosses that then people could push it made people quite wary of. What out prices or status in the country man and said this ruling activity says we are not only just humans eyes people but we are all the same citizens who wont worry our citizenship consistent but within the country and thats what the court thats the message that the court is sending what about among the people in botswana i know that across Subsaharan Africa it is not easy to be gay or lesbian or trans do you think this ruling is changing whats inside the minds and hearts of the people in your country. At this concert is saying what makes it easy or difficult to be. That rarely use community because of the snow or is that. Our contexts prove that we exist for our consent and our seats is very Different Countries which have. Somewhat. Excess of the stresses we look at some of the states of the traditional not exist why couldnt i. Wish had been one of the made europe pushbacks people dont understand why. You get such laws route here we are not i would quite saying our attic is Community Level it is coming to the fore bryant our legal advocacy has come into the call out front and we are more victory so were trying to make but i have been trying to tell us that were making too much noise i dont understand that we havent been the employees weve had to share information that they needed to hear and heat in the heart and that we werent saying it and now we are back by courts to say not only at the time to say that this in and learn but listen learn and just because youre not about one are all good little times anymore we were never but on a difficult time we inherited a law that was is dated in the United Kingdom in 1533 we inherited it in 855 why should those tax still influence. In 2009. Heat kidney and all these other things the cavity a little bit that is there that the media is in and ask you what about if people in the community but its one of what about if they need help from the police now do you think people are going to feel comfortable and confident but calling the police to help them weve been doing a lot of sense i think and what i think we any less of the iraq war as people have is it within the Civil Societies space so let people which is a lesbian gay bisexual that was i have been doing it and i think that they should training which is weak their list and Community British type titian is to say how do you start in fall the l. T. C. Trite plus people with even the work that you do i miss you how do you tolerate l. C. C. Class people so i think do you think that it will take a little bit once high for the community to trust that the police and Police Officers will heat the and my students. The carts and not i dont think that its going to take that much of an effort for us to feel as though we cant go either on the law or in the way when we talk to Law Enforcement officers its all right brooke and we certainly appreciate you sharing your time and your thoughts today certainly a momentous day for the people in botswana thank you definitely and which says that im happy and thankful for the support that were seeing around the world you know right thank you were here in germany there is fresh is a fresh discussion about legislation affecting gay people in this country Germanys Health minister younge bond says he is backing a ban on conversion therapy thats a term for treatment aimed at changing the Sexual Orientation of gays and lesbians some in germany who have undergone conversion therapy already working to stop the practice. Today bastiaan measure is open about his homosexuality but getting to this point was agony as a devout christian being gay seemed like a sin discussion groups and socalled conversion therapy were meant to heal him but dr even tried to drive out his demons. After he saw a big black form coming out of my back and that this was supposed to be a really big evil demon that was causing my homosexuality. Germanys Health Minister wants to stop such methods and ban gay conversion therapy he has the support of doctors and lawyers boston moshe also sat on the committee the experts opinion is clear. On all the relevant Major Medical experts associations have clearly stated that homosexuality is neither a disease nor a disorder thats why from a medical or psychotherapeutic standpoint theres no need whatsoever for treatment of the hunt. Given the considerable psychological stress conversion therapy causes the Committee Also says a ban is logical and legitimate offers us might not thats why in my view there needs to be a strong signal from the state and also from lawmakers in order to protect homosexuals from pathology discrimination stigmatism and suffering. Bustin measure is fighting for the acceptance of homosexuality and to keep others from going through what he did.

In moscow the investigative journalist yvonne golden off has been released from Police Custody earlier today Russias Interior Ministry said that the drug charges against golan off were being dropped due to a lack of evidence the circumstances surrounding his arrest last week triggered protests in criticism even from some senior officials and the media that generally support the government. Tuesdays decision came as protests against the prosecution of even call enough appeared to be gaining momentum since the news of his arrest broke last friday supporters had been demonstrating outside the Russian Interior Ministry one person pickets dont have to be authorized in advance of protesters took turns Holding Signs calling for even call enough to be freed. 3 major newspapers also joined the protests each running the same headline in mondays edition declaring i am we are even called enough lost because i didnt know several prominent media personalities criticized the circumstances of going off to rest as well because of this the only thing might sort of. Even go enough was arrested last week and charged with dealing drugs he insisted he was innocent and that the police planted the drugs on him his lawyers said fingerprints werent on any of the items confiscated in the search and the girl enough was beaten in custody and denied a lawyer for more than 12 hours. Police released several photos that seem to show a drugs lab at colin office home they later admitted only one of those photos was actually taken at the journalists apartment go enough is well known for exposing corruption medusa to the let you have based news website he works for was preparing to publish his latest reporting on russias crime ridden funeral industry go enough the rest seems to have hit a nerve yes well just as a political speech there is a demand for justice in society because this case is not just about you but it concerns many citizens who could end up in the same situation it is no secret that police often break the law in situations like this. In a turnaround its those Law Enforcement agencies that are now coming under scrutiny. The interior ministry has opened an investigation into the officers who arrested called enough and theyve asked president putin to fire 2 senior Moscow Police officials. Are for more on this now were going to go to our correspondent in really sure when she is in moscow in front of the interior Ministry Good evening to you in releasing what was the atmosphere like there where you are when the minister. Well goal enough came out of the entrance that you see behind me and there was a huge there was a huge sigh of relief that was basically palpable in the entire crowd of journalists who had assembled here to report on this case people were chanting his name as well and someone had brought his dog to hand over to him he seemed very relieved at the turn of events that this case has taken. While on the one hand i think its the evidence the situation with the evidence which was rather contradictory and difficult from the beginning weve just heard that for example the Police Published 9 photos which showed some sort of a drug lab almost from apartment and later they then admitted that actually only one of those photos had been actually taken in go in Office Apartment today we heard that the d. N. A. Was actually on the drugs packages at all and also the other aspect i think was the huge public pressure that we saw. In the past few days weve just heard about the protests that were happening here outside the interior Ministry Since news of. Arrests broke and that pressure was also reflected in the media and then in among politicians as well including among the highest ranks the speaker of the upper house of parliament. Came out today and said that this case was difficult and that it looked a bit like a set up so it seems that this public pressure gave us a quick turn around quick turn around a journalist but whats the significance of this release for the entire country. Well it seems that we can already see some of the consequences now the parliament here in russia has now announced that they are going to be discussing their countrys drug laws and thats because there is in russia something called a popular paragraph thats what people call it here which means essentially if someone is inconvenient to you you can kind of just stick some drugs in their bag and that will mean that they can be put behind bars and it seems that parliamentarians are looking to discuss that and perhaps change some of those laws to make it difficult more difficult for that to happen and the other thing of course is that this was a huge show of strength from the from Russia Civil Society they came out in the media showed huge solidarity across the board including in in state t. V. In state media not just in critical Media Outlets and theyve really kind of shown here that there are red lines and that they wont let the Kremlin Cross those lines or that they wont let anyone cross those lines.
