Germany set to financially compensate more than 50,000 convicted gays
The Federal Republic of Germany is set to compensate over fifty thousand convicted gay men for their sexual orientation under a historic law.
The Western European country has set aside thirty million euros to compensate homosexuals convicted under a historic law for their sexual orientation up to 1960s - reveals German daily "SΓΌddeutsche Zeitung" (SZ) on Saturday.
A draft law set to be formally announced later this month will provide for "relatively uncomplicated" individual claims - Heiko Maas is quoted. It also allows for collective compensation.
Convicted homosexuals would also have their names cleared.
The Germany justice minister also told "SZ" he expects more than five thousand men to have personal claim.
Homosexuality was made a crime on paragraph 175, which was part of Germany's criminal code from 1871 to 1994.
Over one hundred and forty thousand men were convicted in total, with around fifty thousand of them having been prosecuted since after the World War II.
The anti-gay code was tightened during the Nazi era, which saw homosexual and bisexual men rounded up in thousands and taken to concentration camps.
Gay men were subsequently arrested and jailed - causing social exclusion, unemployment and lost of homes.

Listen to Trump's apology and the leaked audio after the cut
Donald Trump and Billy Bush could be heard conversing in the audio and how Donald Trump tried to have sex with a married woman.
The pair have since apologized for their remarks...
Speaker of the House, Republican, Paul Ryan and Wisconsin Governor, Scott Walker who were supposed to be on a Presidential campaign with Trump have since condemned Trump's statements on the tape and even dis-invited him to the Presidential campaign.
Following criticism by Republic leaders, Trump issued another short video statement saying, "I said it, I was wrong and I apologize."
He also called the audio leak "a distraction from the issues we are facing today."
He added that his words are much different than the words and actions of former US President, Bill Clinton (known womanizer) , whom he accused of abusing women and Hillary Clinton of bullying, attacking, shaming and intimidating Bill's victims."
"I've never said I'm a perfect person, nor pretended to be someone that I'm not. I've said and done things I regret, and the words released today on this more than a decade-old video are one of them. Anyone who knows me knows these words reflect who I am."Listen to the leaked audio below
