Germany to clear 50,000 gays convicted under Nazi-era law
The German government has approved a bill to overturn the convictions of 50,000 men sentenced for homosexuality under a Nazi-era law which remained in force after the Second World War. If the law is passed, about 5,000 men convicted under the old law, who are still alive, will receive a â¬3,000 compensation and â¬1,500 for each year spent in jail.
