Malawi Suspends Anti-Gay Laws

LILONGWE, Malawi, Nov. 6 (UPI) — Amnesty International has commended the government of Malawi for suspending colonial-era laws that criminalized homosexuality, terming it a "historic step."

Malawi Justice Minister Ralph Kasambara suspended the laws Monday because he said he wanted a debate on whether to keep them, the human rights group said in a statement.
