Media houses have been granted full access to court proceedings concerning the “Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill 2024,” also known as the “Anti-LGBTB Bill.”
The Judicial Service, in a communiqué issued by the Judicial Service on Tuesday (May 28)), confirmed that the media (including radio and television) will have “full access to the relevant courts to undertake coverage of all proceedings in those cases concerning the Bill.”
The decision follows the interest the pending cases have generated.
The Supreme Court a few weeks ago granted a request by the Attorney General to have the Supreme Court proceedings on the anti-LGBTQ+ broadcast.
This was after it granted a request from the Attorney-General due to the growing public interest in the case. There are currently four separate lawsuits that have been filed against the bill.
Amanda Odoi and Richard Dela Sky have filed cases challenging the bill’s passage directly at the Supreme Court, while Paul Boama-Sefa and Prince Obiri-Korang have filed separate cases in the High Court.
