We've got a very similar law in Malawi. It was adopted in January this year. The british ambassador tought it(amongst other things) wasn't acceptable. He has just been expelled. (flew out yesterday)It is a bold act considering this country is dependant on aid. But anyway who cares what happens in sub Saharan Africa? Malawi is mostly known for its fart ban and madonna's kids.
