In a brief article, the BBC is reporting that Steven Monjeza and Tiwonge Chimbalanga have been convicted of of gross indecency and unnatural acts.
The couple celebrated an unofficial engagement in late December 2009, in public in front of about 500 people, and were later arrested by the police and remanded in prison, where they are said to have been beaten.
There is a Facebook page for those who wish to support the couple. The latest posting on this page's Wall is claiming that they were, in fact acquitted, so look for updates as the day goes on.
