ACTIVISTS have demanded that Jamaica repeal a colonial-era law criminalising gay sex, noting that the government has ignored a regional rights panel’s recommendation, two years ago, to do so.
The call on Tuesday comes as a growing number of islands in the Caribbean region strike down similar laws that often threatened life sentences and hard labour.
Jamaica has resisted such a repeal and is considered by activists to be the Caribbean nation most hostile toward gay people.
