Two medical students have been arrested in Zambia after they were caught having gay sex in a toilet, local media reported.
The pair were subjected to invasive medical checks afterwards on police orders.
Police spokesman Rae Hamoonga alleged the two men were caught in a toilet cubicle together.
“The individuals were promptly taken to the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) for medical examination, where it was confirmed by the attending doctor that the duo had engaged in unnatural acts. Both suspects are third-year medical students,” he said.
A maximum penalty of 15 years in jail can be handed down for homosexual acts in Zambia.
Zambia is a deeply conservative society where homosexual acts are illegal – and referred to as “against the order of nature” in the country’s constitution.
