Senegalese Parliament Passes Law Doubling Penalties for Same-Sex Relationships Dakar, Senegal – The Senegalese parliament approved legislation on March 11th that significantly increases penalties for same-sex relationships. The new law doubles the maximum prison sentence for offenses related to these relationships, with potential imprisonment ranging up to 10 years for convicted individuals. Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye formally signed the law into effect. The measure represents a heightened response to the country’s LGBTQ+ community. Previously, existing laws addressed acts deemed “harmful to public morality,” but the revised legislation specifically targets same-sex relationships. The updated law outlines penalties that could result in sentences of up to 10 years imprisonment for those involved in same-sex relationships. This action is viewed as part of ongoing pressure directed toward individuals engaged in these relationships within Senegal. The move has drawn international criticism from human rights organizations concerned about the legal repercussions for LGBTQ+ individuals in the country. Further details regarding the implementation and enforcement of the law are pending.
