Ivory Coast has seen
its first ever sentencing of two men for gay sex. The men, identified in
local media reports as P.L., 31, and L.A.,19, from a rural area in southwestern
Ivory Coast, were seen in the act by the younger man's uncle, who reported them
to police.
The pair admitted being lovers and said they did not think
this was a crime, according to a report on Abidjan.net.
They have been sentenced to 18 months in jail.
Homosexuality is not banned in the country but ''indecent
acts in public'' are.
