The Council in Uganda rejects the appeal on the anti-LGBT law - Last minute. Called the "anti-homosexuality law 2023", the text provides heavy penalties for people who have homosexual relationships and "promote" homosexuality.
The crime of "aggravated homosexuality" is punishable by the death penalty, a penalty which, however, has not been applied in Uganda for years. The appeal filed "essentially sought the annulment of the entire Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023," said Justice Richard Buteera.
