Ghana's Supreme Court has unanimously decided to dismiss two legal challenges to new anti-LGBT legislation that has been criticised by rights groups.
Earlier this year, lawmakers passed a bill imposing three years in prison for people identifying as LGBT and five years for forming or funding LGBT groups.
Fear and uncertainty has gripped Ghana's LGBT community, already facing limited rights.
The bill, considered one of Africa's most draconian anti-LGBT laws, has been condemned by the UN.
Amanda Odoi and Richard Dela-Sky filed separate challenges to the bill to declare it illegal and prevent President Nana Akufo-Addo from signing it into law.
