Ghana's Supreme Court live-streams anti-LGBTQI+ bill proceedings, following public interest request by Attorney General.

Ghana's Supreme Court is live-streaming its proceedings on the country's anti-LGBTQI+ bill, following the request of the Attorney General citing public interest and transparency. The bill, passed in February 2024, criminalizes LGBTQI+ relationships and those who support queer rights, prompting two citizens to file a case before the country's highest court seeking to prevent the President of Ghana from enforcing the bill. The live broadcast presents both benefits and drawbacks, with potential increased hostility towards the queer community and increased transparency, education, and accountability within the judicial system.
