Ghana's Supreme Court clears path for controversial LGBTQ+ restrictive bill to be signed into law.

Ghana's Supreme Court has rejected legal challenges against a bill that restricts LGBTQ+ rights, allowing it to move forward for presidential approval. The bill, approved by lawmakers in February, imposes prison terms of six months to three years for engaging in LGBTQ+ sexual activity. It faces international criticism but has domestic support. The bill must be ratified by President Nana Akufo-Addo to become law. Concerns include potential loss of World Bank funding and impacts on human rights.
