Malawi police continue anti-gay sweep

International human rights groups continue to monitor the situation in Malawi, where police have conducted a series of sweeps to arrest gays and lesbians.

A spokesman for the police in Blantyre, Malawi, told the press that investigators had uncovered a network of high-profile people who engage in same-sex activity and “we will arrest them all.”

In December, Steven Monjeza and Tiwonge Chimbalanga were arrested for celebrating their engagement. The men now face prosecution for felony charges of gross indecency and unnatural acts and, if convicted, possible prison sentences of 14 years.
