'Sex-change' man and wife jailed for perjury in Pakistan

Pakistan’s first publicly acknowledged same-sex couple were today jailed for three years for perjury.

The case of Shumail Raj – who was born female but had two operations to remove her breasts and uterus 16 years ago – and Shahzina Tariq has made waves by raising issues of homosexuality and transsexuality that are taboo in the country.
