Junta-run Burkina Faso has passed a law banning homosexuality and instituting punishments of up to five years in jail, the latest in a clutch of African nations to pass anti-gay legislation.
“The law provides for a prison sentence of between two and five years as well as fines,” Justice Minister Edasso Rodrigue Bayala said on national broadcaster RTB.
“If a person is a perpetrator of homosexual or similar practices, all the bizarre behaviour, they will go before the judge,” he said, adding that foreign nationals would be deported under the law.
Massive L if true but I can’t find any anti-imperialist media reporting this. The way the imperialists have been frothing at the mouth and gunning for BF I can’t trust anything western media say.
I have done some looking RTB’s website for the supposed statements by Justice Minister Edasso Rodrigue Bayala but my very limited french comprehension is not getting me very far.
If you still have the link send it to me I’ll take a look

The bill is highly influenced by the religious conservatives of society. The bill itself is causing tensions and debates.
