India government asks court to review anti-gay law

None

India's government asked the Supreme Court on Friday to review a decision in which it upheld a colonial-era law that bans homosexual acts and makes them punishable by up to a decade in prison.

 

Law Minister Kapil Sibal said he hoped the court would overturn the law. "Let's hope the right to personal choices is preserved," he said. (AP)
