India’s Supreme Court has reinstated a law banning homosexual sex. The ban was struck down four years ago, but renewed on Tuesday after the court upheld a section of the penal code dating back to 1860. Indian officials say they plan to keep a database of those prosecuted under the law. In a statement, Human Rights Watch called the ruling a “setback to human dignity.”
