New Iraqi Bill For Same-Sex Relationship Attracts 15-Year Jail Term

The new Iraqi bill for same-sex relationship attracts 15-year jail term.

 

Glamtush reports that the Iraqi parliament on Saturday passed a bill making same-sex relationship punishable by up to 15 years in prison.

This online news platform understands that transgender people will also be sentenced to three years in jail under the amendments to a 1988 anti-prostitution law.

The legislation was adopted during a session attended by 170 out of 329 lawmakers.

A previous draft had proposed capital punishment for same-sex relations.

But the new amendments allow the courts to sentence people to between 10 and 15 years in prison.

They also set a minimum of a seven-year prison term for “promoting” same-sex relations and a sentence ranging from one to three years for men who “intentionally” act like women.

The amended law makes “biological sex change based on personal desire and inclination” a crime and punishes trans people and doctors who perform gender reassignment surgery with up to three years in prison.
