LONDON, Nov ‌10 (Reuters) - Trinidad and ​Tobago's law ‌criminalising consensual sexual ‌relations between male same-sex ‌couples was overturned by a London court on ⁠Tuesday, after ‌a legal ⁠challenge by a ​gay man who said the ​Caribbean nation's ​laws ‌breached his human ​rights.

London's ⁠Privy Council, ‌the final court ​of ​appeal for Trinidad and Tobago and some other ‌Commonwealth countries, ruled that ‌the ​law was unconstitutional.
