Belize: Criminality of Homosexuality Challenged in Court |
|
|
|
Under Belize's Criminal Code, gays face a penalty of up to 10 years' imprisonment.
Section 53 states: "Every person who has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any person or animal shall be liable to imprisonment for ten years."
Who is challenging the law?
Caleb Orozco is the lead claimant in the case against the Attorney General and the government along with other interested parties opposed to the criminalisation of homosexuality in Belize: the Commonwealth Lawyers Association, the International Commission of Jurists and the Human Dignity Trust.
