Burkina Faso’s parliament has passed a law banning homosexuality, with people facing two to five years in prison, the state broadcaster reported late Monday.

The code was approved by the parliament on Monday in a unanimous vote, putting the legislation into effect more than a year after its initial approval by Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s military government.

Burkina Faso now joins over half of Africa’s 54 countries that have laws banning homosexuality, with penalties ranging from several years in prison to the death penalty.
