ZAMBIAN MEN CHARGED OVER GAY SEX

Two Zambian men have pleaded not guilty during a court appearance in the small central town of Kapiri Mposhi to a charge of engaging in homosexual acts.

 

James Mwape and Philip Mubiana, both 22, have been charged with four counts of committing "unnatural" sexual acts.
Zambia is a socially conservative country and homosexual acts carry a jail sentence of up to 14 years.
