HO, Ghana (Reuters) - A Ghanaian court on Friday delayed its ruling on a bail application for 21 Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT+) activists detained two weeks ago for an allegedly unlawful gathering, which rights group deny.

The delay will mean the group will have to spend at least four more days in detention.
