The recent validation of the anti-LGBT law by Ghana's Supreme Court marks a significant milestone in the defense of African socio-cultural values. The Martin Luther King Movement (MMLK), known for its commitment to social causes, welcomes this decision and extends its congratulations to Ghanaian President John Mahama.
In an official press release signed on January 10, 2025, the MMLK welcomes this step forward as an act of sovereignty in the face of external pressure. The movement also encourages the Togolese authorities to examine this step and strengthen their legislative framework to preserve the country's cultural identity and morals.
MMLK president Pasteur Edoh Komi recalled article 392 of the Togolese penal code, which punishes acts "contrary to morality", and urged the government to go further to protect Togo's social foundations.
For the MMLK, Ghana demonstrates that it is possible to legislate with respect for local realities and popular expectations, an example that Togo, a country also attached to its traditional values, would do well to follow.
"It's time for Togo to take courageous action and preserve the integrity of our nation," concludes the movement, reaffirming its role as defender of the voices of the voiceless.
