"Zanzibar's parliament has passed a bill that outlaws homosexuality and lesbianism. The bill imposes stiff penalties which include up to 25 years imprisonment for those in gay relationships.
The overwhelmingly Muslim Indian Ocean island is a key tourist destination on the East African coast.
The attorney-general said they were determined to prevent Zanzibari culture from being corrupted. The president is expected to approve the bill into law."
