@Grace
The offence has been declared a nullity so all those presently charged under it can plead for a dismissal

@RivaI have gathered in other spaces that in the past, when guys were charged the law was valid and it is new cases that will be affected. Yes?

Fantastic. What does that mean for those charged under the law so far? Are they to be set free?
