MALAWI — The High Court released its (LONG) judgement in the case in which it upheld the country’s colonial-era “carnal knowledge against the order of nature” laws, and they are a breathtaking logic pretzel. I should acknowledge that if the Court’s summary of the case is correct, the two claimants had really, really shitty lawyers who made bad and incomplete arguments. (It should also be said that the two claimants are deeply flawed individual; one is accused of sexually assaulting minors in his employment, the other is a sex worker accused of robbing her clients).
