NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — A lawyer says she has submitted the
arguments during the first day of a hearing where two men are
seeking a Kenyan court ruling to stop enforced anal examinations
of men accused of being gay.

Sande Ligunya, said Wednesday she argued the anal exams infringe
on the right to privacy and the right to a fair trial. She said
her clients were arrested in a bar near Ukunda along Kenya’s
Indian Ocean coast in February 2015 on suspicion of engaging in
gay sex which is a criminal offense in Kenya. She said the men
were forced to undergo anal examinations after a magistrate
ordered a medical examination. Ligunya says the attorney general
is expected to respond to their petition on May 12.
