Govt appeals the 2014 gay ruling

The appeal, scheduled for this month’s session, follows a landmark judgement of the Gaborone High Court Justice, Terrence Rannowane, declaring that the 20 applicants were entitled to assemble and associate under the name and style of LEGABIBO.

Rannowane had also declared that the applicants were entitled to have the group LEGABIBO registered as a society and that in a democratic society freedom of association, assembly and expression are important values duly protected by the Constitution.
