The Case of Steven Monjeza and Tiwonge Chimbalanga

Many of you have been following the case of Steven Monjeza and Tiwonge Chimbalanga, two young Malawi individuals who have been sentenced to fourteen years of hard labor for their same-sex marriage. Both the State Department and the White House have condemned this harsh and unjustified sentence; so have House Foreign Affairs Chairman Berman (D-CA) and Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI). Their statements, along with that of the French Government, can be found on our website.
