Germany to clear 50,000 gay men convicted under Nazi-era law
The German parliament has voted to revoke the convictions of 50,000 gay men sentenced for homosexuality under a Nazi-era law that remained in force after WWII. The measure also offers those convicted a lump sum of â¬1,500 (over â¹1 lakh) for each year they spent in prison. Notably, only 5,000 of those found guilty under the statute are still alive.
